Enid Stacy

It seemed tough to find a blip today, with limited time and poor light. I chose this church as a blip source, hoping for some spooky images. Instead I learned something.

A blue plaque on the gatepost referred to Enid Stacy, one of the best-known female propagandists for socialism in the 1890s who did all she could to further the advent of women into politics. She spoke and wrote on the interests of working people and advocated women's right to vote. She lived at Calderbrook towards the end of her life where her husband was the vicar of this church, St James, where she was buried on her death in 1903.
