Complies

Lady Willoughby de Broke was CUWFA president in 1911. The CUWFA formed in 1908 to work peacefully and constitutionally for ‘the removal of the sex disqualification from the franchise’ by bringing Conservative and Unionist’s together. She was very active not only in campaigning for women's suffrage, but in working for a number of other social and economic causes such as enquiries into domestic service. Their house at Compton Verney was used by the Willoughby de Broke's for a number of CUWFA meetings in 1911. The couple also used Woodley House in nearby Kineton and were resident there when the census was taken in 1911.
