The Federation of Essex Women’s Institutes (FEWI) will unveil their first Blue plaque for an Essex WI member.

Former Vice-Chairman of the National Federation of Women’s Institutes (NFWI), and life-long resident of the village of Ugley, she is best remembered for being the mastermind behind the national network of amateur WI choirs, culminating in their biggest gathering (in their thousands) in The Royal Albert Hall, in 1950, with world-famous Ralph Vaughan Williams composing the music and Sir Adrian Boult conducting.

To attend the unveiling please call 01245 382233 or email fedsec@essexwi.org.uk.
