Violet died on 21 March 1940. Although unmarried, she has family through her seven younger siblings who have been proud to share her story, photographs, medals and letter of commendation with us here at Dudmaston.
This year, Dudmaston is hosting 'Shaken and Stirred', a participatory project that looks to mix up our collections and help us to see objects in new ways. This involves working with artist Faye Claridge to test a selection of property stories, asking our visitors for feedback to find which stories they are most interested in. Violet’s story will be included and no doubt prove a favourite in this centennial year.
Throughout 2018 we're hosting events, exhibitions and installations at places across the country to bring to life the stories behind the fight for female suffrage. Visit our Women and Power hub page to find out more.
