NUWSS Warwick and Leamington Branch Chairman.

Clara was born in 1864 and lived here at 13 Northumberland Road with her husband Joseph Alfred Hill, their two children Robert and Katherine, and two servants.

Clara was already active in the Leamington and Warwick branch of the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) by 1908 and Chairman by 1911. She wrote regularly to the local press responding swiftly to letters appearing therein that she took exception to – Clara was certainly not one to leave things untackled (see image below). By 1912, Clara is referred to as the branch’s Honorary Secretary.

Clara likely went on to become a senior magistrate locally (see below). Researcher: Tara Morton. Research funded by Warwick University.
