              <text>Dorothy Bonavia Hunt came to live in Burgess Hill in 1905 when her father, Revd Henry Bonavia Hunt, took over as Vicar of St John the Evangelist after 30 years at St Paul’s, Kilburn. The family was musical and literary: Dorothy’s father had founded the Trinity College of Music; her mother, Madeline, was a much-published author. By 1905 Dorothy’s pianist sister Ethel, her elder by 10 years, was teaching music in India. Dorothy herself performed at local events as a soprano and violinist. In 1909 Dorothy organised a WSPU meeting held on 1 June in the Parish Hall. This was addressed by ‘polished platform speaker’ Helen Ogston who had begun work a few months earlier as the first WSPU paid organiser in Brighton after achieving notoriety in December 1908 for wielding a dog whip against stewards who tried to eject her from the Albert Hall for interrupting a speech to Women Liberals by Lloyd George. A report in Votes for Women of the Burgess Hill meeting claimed that copies of this paper were sold out. Three months later the Mid Sussex Times reported that Helen Ogston, having ‘made out so good a case for votes for women in such a brilliant speech’, had been invited to return to Burgess Hill, and delivered ‘another fine exposition of the subject’. This second meeting was chaired by Revd Baldwin Pinney, senior curate at St John’s. By August 1910, however, Dorothy had allied herself to the non-militants, and a Central Sussex Women’s Suffrage Society garden party hosted by Mrs Carey of Lea Copse, Burgess Hill, concluded with a display of Morris dancing by schoolgirls under Dorothy’s direction. In July 1913, when the Brighton Road contingent of the Great Suffrage Pilgrimage stopped for a meeting under the Reformers Tree in the centre of Burgess Hill, Mrs Bonavia Hunt was ’one of the numerous prominent Burgess Hillians present’. Dorothy ‘was among the cyclists who bore the suffragist colours’ and was also named in the report of the Pilgrims setting off from Cuckfield the next morning. By September 1913 Dorothy had become secretary of a new Burgess Hill branch of the Central Sussex Women’s Suffrage Society and had also joined the Mid Sussex branch of the Church League for Women’s Suffrage. In February 1914, she and her father attended a large meeting in the St John’s Institute addressed by ‘one of the foremost women speakers in the country’, Maude Royden, editor of Common Cause and a leading figure in the Church League for Women’s Suffrage. The annual report delivered at the Central Sussex Women’s Suffrage Society AGM in Cuckfield’s Queen’s Hall, in July 1914, where the guest speaker was Millicent Garrett Fawcett, made special mention of the first year’s activity of the Burgess Hill branch ‘under the able leadership of Miss Bonavia Hunt’. Dorothy is known now as the author of Pemberley Shades, a sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, first published in 1949 while she was living with one of her two brothers, a vicar in Bedfordshire.

              <text>Frances (1866 – 1941) was born in Essex into a family of wealthy academics. Her great grandfather was astronomer Sir William Herschel and her aunt Constance Herschel lectured in natural science and mathematics and was one of the earliest female lecturers at Girton College, Cambridge. Frances also studied mathematics at Girton and became one of the founding members of the American Mathematical Society in 1894 while studying at Bryn Mawr college in the US to obtain a degree given many British institutions would not allow women to sit for exams. More is known about Frances’ mathematical achievements (for more on this see sources below) than her suffrage work, which can be traced back to her time at Girton where she spoke to the oratorial society on its aims and history in relation to the Women’s Suffrage Movement and the Higher Education of Women. She was also a member of the CWSA (Cambridge Association for Women’s Suffrage). Later, Frances became Honorary Secretary of the NUWSS and signed a letter written to The Times in 1908, stating her disagreement with suffragettes’ militant methods. She later became active in the suffrage movement in the Newcastle area through her lifetime companion (see) Dr. Ethel Williams, with whom she shared a home. Interestingly, Frances is absent from the 1911 census return for 3 Osborne Terrace as is Ethel who was evading the census in protest at her exclusion from the franchise despite the census boycott’s illegality. It is probable that Frances was evading with her.

              <text>Ethel Mary Nucella Williams (1863-1948) was born in Cromer, Norfolk. Her father was a country squire and a friend of author Lewis Carroll. Her mother’s family had included William Harvey, the seventeenth-century physician famous for describing the circulation of the blood. Ethel was educated at Norwich High School and Newnham Cambridge, although she did not take a degree as women were not then permitted. She eventually took an MB in 1891, achieved an MD in 1895 at the London School of Medicine for Women, and returned to Cambridge securing a diploma in Public Health in 1899. She spent some time working in London at Clapham Maternity Hospital as a Medical Officer and at a dispensary for women and children in Blackfriars. She returned to Newcastle in 1906 as the city’s first woman doctor forming a joint practice with Ethel Bentham. That year, she was also the first woman to drive a car in Newcastle which would come in handy during her suffrage campaigning (see image). Like most women doctors of her generation, Ethel was concerned with the health needs of women and children and provided milk for infants at her own expense to try and reduce Newcastle’s appalling infant mortality rate. In 1909, she was appointed to the senate of Durham University and later became a member of the Newcastle Education Committee and Justice of the Peace. In 1917, Ethel co-founded the Northern Women’s Hospital (now the Nuffield Health Clinic on Osborne Road) and helped initiate residential care for boys with learning disabilities. She was also one of the earliest members of the Medical Women’s Federation founded in 1917 to further the interests of women doctors and patients. Ethel had a long association with campaign for female suffrage, signing the Declaration in Favour of Women’s Suffrage in 1889 and later became president to the Newcastle and District Women’s Suffrage Society (NUWSS). She took part in the NUWSS ‘mud march’ in 1907 and was also involved in suffrage processions and marches in Newcastle. The suffragist marching banner she may have carried in 1907 (see images) and possible on other marches is part of Newcastle University Library’s Special Collections and has been restored by the People's History Museum, Manchester. Despite belonging to the law abiding NUWSS, Ethel illegally evaded the government census survey in 1911 being deliberately absent from her address at 3 Osborne Terrace which she shared with (see) Frances Hardcastle, her lifelong companion. In the end, the census return (see image) was signed on her behalf in her absence by Helen Moss a locum doctor. Also present was Clementina Gordon, an organizing secretary for the NUWSS. This form of passive resistance suited Ethel and she also became a tax resistor. She began withholding her taxes while the highly anticipated Conciliation Bill was undergoing final readings in parliament. The bill, originated by a group of cross-party MPs, promised the vote to some women householders. When the bill was torpedoed by Asquith in 1912, Ethel refused to pay the taxes. In June 1913, she was one of 100 NUWSS members who left Newcastle, banners aloft, to join the great and arduous NUWSS Pilgrimage down to London. By 1915, she was chair of the North Eastern Federation of the NUWSS. When war broke out in 1914, Ethel severed her ties with the Liberal Party for their inaction on female suffrage and became more closely aligned with the programme of the Labour Party – though it is unlikely she joined it. She did join the Union of Democratic Control which campaigned for greater accountability in the making of British foreign policy and was secretary of the Newcastle Workers and Soldiers Council modeled on the Russian ‘soviets’ established after the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II, and in which Special Branch took a keen interest, preventing many meetings from taking place. Ethel was also a founding member of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (she was secretary of the Newcastle branch in 1934). In 1924 Ethel retired from medicine but remained actively involved in the peace movement.

              <text>May Martin Le Lacheur (1884-1944) was a daughter of Congregationalist merchant banker John Allen Le Lacheur of The Wilderness, Tunbridge Wells. Gladys Sherris (1885-1939), recorded as staying at The Wilderness from 1907, was the elder daughter of a Royal Navy paymaster. By 1908 Dorothy de Jersey Le Lacheur, one of May’s sisters, was holding local WSPU meetings at The Wilderness. Dorothy and May, with their elder brother and Gladys, took part in the WSPU demonstration in Hyde Park on the 21st of June 1908, driving to London in a motor car decorated with rosettes in green, white, and purple. Later in 1908, Dorothy set up a Tunbridge Wells branch of the Women’s Freedom League (WFL) running this as secretary. Her mother became treasurer of the Tunbridge Wells branch of the NUWSS. Meetings of both societies were held at The Wilderness. In the spring of 1909, as ‘M Martin, The Wilderness, Tunbridge Wells’, May placed a small ad in the WSPU’s Votes for Women newspaper: ‘Lady gardener seeks situation in private or market garden; full training; certificates and practical experience’. Nothing appears to have come of this, and a year later she and Gladys had established the Flower Farm in Upper Station Road, Henfield, and were advertising in Votes for Women, ‘boxes of choice cut flowers’ and ‘strong transplanted seedlings.’ As a commercial enterprise, the Flower Farm never rivalled the merchandise and marketing developed by (see) the Misses Allen-Brown at the Violet Nurseries nearby. As women of means, May and Gladys could afford to concentrate instead on winning professional prestige by entering their produce in top-class competitions. In July 1910, their success at the annual Women’s Agricultural and Horticultural International Union Show at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Regent’s Park, was reported in, significantly, the NUWSS paper The Common Cause: ‘Misses May M Le Lacheur and Gladys Sherris, FRHS, who within the last 12 months have established a nursery garden at Henfield, were awarded the silver Knightian medal for English hothouse melons, and a first prize for giant sweet peas and a second prize for roses.’ In 1911, as confirmation of a shift from militant to non-militant, May and Gladys complied with the Census, signing it as ‘Suffragists and nursery gardeners’ (see image). In 1912, they joined other Henfield women, notably (see) Elizabeth Robins and the Misses Allen-Brown, in contributing to a fund to help the Pethick-Lawrences, following the couple’s ejection from the WSPU. One likes to picture this group of women gathered together on the 14th of May 1913, when (see) Florence de Fonblanque and her Marchers Qui Vive, who were staying overnight in Henfield on their way from Horsham to Brighton, held a meeting in the village at 7pm. Two months later May and Gladys again triumphed at the Women’s Agricultural and Horticultural International Union Show, winning first prize for their ‘striking collection of herbaceous plants’ and were named among the ‘chief prize-takers who showed that lady gardeners are able to hold their own against male competitors’. May and Gladys left Henfield during the War, Gladys to take up ambulance work at the Front until her marriage in 1917.Sources: Kent and Sussex Courier, Votes for Women, Common Cause, Cheltenham Examiner 17 July 1913, Westminster Gazette 11 July 1913, The National Archives.

              <text>Decima Allen (1869-1951) and Ada Brown (1856-1915) lived in Holmgarth, Henfield from about 1899. The house was owned by a relative of Ada Brown by marriage. By 1906 they were marketing the products of the Violet Farm they established there, referring to themselves as Misses Allen-Brown FRHS. They began by advertising boxes of freshly cut violets in the Morning Post in March 1906; in the autumn the magazines The Gentlewoman and The Queen promoted their soap, bath salts, perfume, and protective ‘motor lotion’. A year later their business was publicised as being world-famous and scented ‘novelties’ were proposed as Christmas gifts. From April 1908, when Votes for Women progressed from a monthly to weekly publication, Misses D and A. Allen-Brown are listed as contributors to WSPU funds. From August 1908, each week’s issue of the paper carried advertisements for their ‘preparations’. In September, a page headed ‘Progress of Women’ included an announcement of the founding of a French Horticultural School by ‘those two excellent friends of the WSPU, Misses Allen-Brown’. Training was to be conducted on up-to-date scientific principles and based on fashionable French methods. The two-year course would lead to a diploma, and endeavours would be made to place students in good positions in France or England. Misses Allen-Brown, by now major employers of women in Henfield, helped arrange a women’s suffrage meeting held on 11 July 1910 in the village Assembly Rooms. NUWSS organiser Barbara Duncan reported in their newspaper the Common Cause that she and Florence Basden, chair of the Brighton and Hove Women’s Franchise Society, ‘went to Henfield where Miss Mack (aka feminist playwright Margaret Macnamara) and the ladies of the Violet Nurseries had gathered a delightful audience’. Reverend CC Pridgeon, Vicar of nearby Steyning, was in the chair, with (see) Elizabeth Robins in support. It was as WSPU members, however, that Misses Allen-Brown refused to sign the 1911 Census: the Holmgarth page lists only the cook, housekeeper, and a housemaid. The Votes for Women newspaper reported the first WSPU meeting to take place in Henfield: on 27 November 1911. It was chaired by Elizabeth Robins and addressed by Isabel Seymour, a WSPU administrator, and ‘The platform was decorated by the ladies of the Violet Nurseries.’ In 1912 Henfield suffragists followed Elizabeth Robins in supporting Emmeline and Frederick Pethick-Lawrence when the couple were prosecuted for conspiracy in the WSPU’s campaign of violent destruction, even though they did not participate in this themselves. When the Government tried to recover some of the costs of window-smashing by auctioning the contents of the Pethick-Lawrence house in Dorking on 31 Oct 1912, much of its contents was purchased by friends and returned. The Misses Ada-Brown were among the women of the village who contributed to a collection made by Ada Baxter, wife of the Captain of the Henfield Fire Brigade, towards this purchase fund. Misses Allen-Brown oversaw the planting of the flower beds at Backsettown, a record of which was kept by Elizabeth Robins at the back of her Visitors Book. In 1913 they published The Violet Book, dedicated to ‘Our neighbour, Miss Elizabeth Robins’.

              <text>Josephine Gonne was born in Natal in South Africa in 1866.  By 1894 she had married Capt. Charles Melvill Gonne of the Royal Artillery and given birth to a son in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. By 1901, the family had moved to Kent where Josephine was in a partnership with an electrical engineer’s business in Canterbury, although this was dissolved in 1906.  The couple were active in the suffrage movement from at least 1910 (see separate entry for Charles Gonne).  Their son Vere Carol Melvill Gonne (1894-1961) was also a suffrage supporter who donated to the Men’s Political Union for Women’s Enfranchisement. In 1911, Josephine wrote to the Common Cause newspaper defending the policy of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) and its interruption of a Liberal meeting at Bath.  She donated to WSPU campaigns several times in the following years and also belonged to the Women’s Tax Resistance League (WTRL) which campaigned under the slogan ‘No Vote, No Tax’. During early 1911, Charles was on the electoral register in London and the couple were active in the WSPU branch in the King’s Road, Chelsea.  No record has been found of Charles, Josephine, or their son in the census of April 1911, so it is possible that they evaded it as per WSPU and WTRL policy. By the autumn, they had moved to 'Hazeldene' Sylvan Way, Bognor Regis, West Sussex (the location is approximated on the map) where Josephine hosted an “At Home” for a local suffrage society that included militant and non-militant campaigners and at which her husband and Evelyn Sharp spoke. Perhaps the most dramatic moment in Josephine’s campaigning came when Charles was imprisoned in December 1913 for refusing to pay taxes on her behalf.  ‘The Vote’ newspaper complimented Josephine on her “plucky fight” in support of her husband. She sent a telegram to the King giving the facts of the case but was told to submit her petition to the monarch via the Home Secretary.  She declined this “doubtful privilege”, asking to present it through a military officer instead.  Fortunately, Charles was released within 48 hours and Vere made a public statement supporting him. Josephine died four years later in February 1917, aged around fifty.  In her will she left over £2000 to her husband (worth approx. £150,000 today).  By then Vere had joined the Royal Garrison Artillery in line with his family’s military tradition, eventually becoming an acting major.

              <text>Captain Charles Melvill Gonne (b. 1862, Hove – d. 1926, Ringwood) spent part of his childhood in Hove before training at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich and becoming an officer in the Royal Artillery.  His grandfather had been a Major-General in India and his father was a member of the Indian Civil Service.  &#13;
By 1894, Charles had married his wife Josephine and they had one son who was born in South Africa.  By 1901, the family had returned to Britain where the couple became active suffrage campaigners, with Charles belonging to the Men’s League for Women’s Suffrage and the Men’s Political Union for Women’s Enfranchisement (see separate entry for Josephine).  In 1910, the press reported Charles’s arrest at the Black Friday demonstrations outside Parliament.  A policeman seized the woman accompanying Charles, to which he responded: ‘You may take me, but you shall not take her.’  He was accused of hitting a policeman, which he denied, and was discharged without evidence being offered.  In a later incident, Charles was badly hurt when stewards ejected him from a Liberal meeting, injuring his spine. In 1911, Charles’s address on the electoral register was Fernshaw Mansions, Fernshaw Road, Chelsea, and the couple were active in the King’s Road branch of the WSPU.  However, by the autumn they had moved to Sylvan Way, Bognor Regis, West Sussex continuing their campaigning (the map location is approximate).  In October, Josephine hosted an “At Home” for a local suffrage society during which Charles spoke about his work for the Men’s Committee for Justice to Women.  No record has been found of Charles, his wife or son in the 1911 census so it is possible that they evaded it. In 1913, Charles was arrested again for refusing to pay property taxes on behalf of his wife.  He was imprisoned in Lewes, East Sussex and went on hunger-strike.  He was released within 48 hours due to ill health and his name appears on the Roll of Honour of Suffragette Prisoners 1905-1914.  The Vote commented that “Things have come to a pretty pass, when the only use England has for a courageous and honest gentleman is to break his back and fling him into prison.” During this period, Charles was also on the Special Reserve list of army officers and in the First World War he was promoted to the rank of Major.  His son, Vere Carol Melvill Gonne (1895-1961), supported his parent’s campaigning and continued the family’s military tradition by joining the Royal Garrison Artillery.

              <text>Miss Nellie Allen was active with the WSPU in 1911 at least through until the close of 1913. In 1911, she took part in the suffragette boycott of the government census survey. She wrote across her form for 58 Marlow Moor Road, that 'Until women are recognised by the government as citizens, I refuse to do a citizens duty - No Vote - No Census' and she signed it Nellie Allen. The census official speculates on the form, probably after a conversation with neighbours: 'I understand Miss Allen has a brother and a domestic servant living with her' none of whom were present. By 1913, Nellie was co-treasurer of the WSPU Manchester branch with Miss Wallwork: the two using an office at 32 King Street West. Can you find out more about Nellie Allen to add to her story on the map? If so, please contact us via email. Nellie was contributed to our map by Mark Morreau.</text>

              <text>Henfield’s best-known suffrage campaigner is American-born actress and writer Elizabeth Robins (1862-1952). Particularly acclaimed for her performances in Ibsen’s feminist plays, she retired from the stage at the age of 40 and joined the London Women’s Suffrage Society. By 1909, when she came to live at Backsettown, Henfield, she had switched to the WSPU. As a member of its committee, she wrote articles for the WSPU newspaper Votes for Women and argued the suffrage case in letters to the Times. Elizabeth’s play ‘Votes for Women’ was commissioned by Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence, treasurer of the WSPU, and performed at the Royal Court Theatre in April 1907. Speaking engagements took her all over the country. She shared platforms with the Pankhursts and Emeline Pethick- Lawrence, and sometimes stood in for Emmeline Pankhurst. In June 1909, a major Brighton and Hove WSPU event was a lecture by Elizabeth at Hove Town Hall, advertised by a Men’s League for Women’s Suffrage (MLWS) member displaying a large poster on his boat moored off Palace Pier. Signatures for 29 May 1909 in the Backsettown Visitors Book (see image), include those of Christabel Pankhurst, Emmeline and Frederick Pethick-Lawrence, and Mabel Tuke, WSPU secretary. Backsettown is reputed to have welcomed suffragettes evading arrest or recovering from imprisonment and hunger striking. Christabel Pankhurst stayed two nights in March 1910 and in March 1912 the police searched for her there. As well as being a member of the Actresses Franchise League, Elizabeth was President of the Women Writers Suffrage League, and led its contingent in processions such as the Coronation Procession of 17 June 1910 (see our blog ‘A Fragile Unity’). A few weeks later she took part in a meeting in the Henfield Assembly Room addressed by representatives of the NUWSS. In April 1911, Elizabeth refused to provide the required details for the government census survey, instead inscribing her page ‘The occupier of this house will be ready to give the desired information the moment the Government recognises women as responsible citizens’. In December 1911, she chaired the first WSPU meeting to be held in Henfield. She and speaker Isabel Seymour, a WSPU administrator, ‘were listened to with rapt interest’ and several new members joined. Elizabeth’s swansong as a WSPU star speaker was the WSPU ‘mass meeting’ at the Albert Hall on 15 June. She resigned in October 1912, when Emmeline and Frederick Pethick-Lawrence were expelled for expressing misgivings about the WSPU’s escalation of violent and destructive action. They had founded and edited Votes for Women; the last Sussex entry in the final issue of this, dated 18 October 1912, concerns a special late train to Henfield booked for the night of Emmeline Pankhurst’s speech at the Brighton Dome on 22 October. The late train may not have had many takers: Elizabeth led strong support for the Pethick-Lawrences in Henfield. In 1918, with a first measure of women’s suffrage about to be granted, Elizabeth wrote to NUWSS President, Millicent Garrett Fawcett, hoping for her presence at a celebratory suffragist dinner: ‘This moment of Victory is a time to turn from points of difference to the many points of agreement’.

              <text>Eleanor Penn Gaskell (c.1860-1937) was honorary secretary of the Willesden branch of the London Society for Women's Suffrage affiliated with the law-abiding National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies (NUWSS). However, from 1908, she began subscribing to the Women’s Social and Political union (WSPU) and was arrested in 1908 for causing a disruption in Piccadilly Circus when distributing leaflets. In January 1910, a shop and office for the Northwest London branch of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) was opened at 215 High Road Kilburn and managed by Eleanor. In 1911, when the government ordered all households to comply with the census, like numerous supporters of votes for women belonging to the WSPU she decided as an act of civil disobedience not to participate. Eleanor and her husband provided a 'hide out' at their home in 12 Nicoll Road, Willesden, for suffrage supporters who wished to illegally avoid completing the government census survey by staying away from their own homes on census night when officials came to collect. How many stayed there is unclear. George Gaskell, Eleanor's husband, was the only named person on the census for their address in Willesden, and he wrote on the census form (see image): “A number of women suffragists spent the night of 2nd April (census night) in my house. As members of a disenfranchised sex, they object to giving any particulars concerning themselves for the purpose of enumeration under a census act in the framing of which their sex has had no voice. They base their objection upon the principle that government should rest upon the consent of the governed, and as I myself uphold this democratic principle I do not feel justified in filling up any particulars concerning them against their will.” The Penn-Gaskell house was also where (see) Emily Wilding Davison was nursed back to health in June 1912 after hunger striking, being forcibly fed, and injuring herself in Holloway. Eleanor continued campaigning with the WSPU until 1915 when it dropped campaigning for the vote for ‘other purposes outside the scope of the Union’ and failed to publish its accounts. Eleanor then became a member of the breakaway Suffragettes of the WSPU.
