Dear All, A biographer has asked me whether I can supply any details of someone he is writing about who seems to have had some interest in sundials.
The bare facts are: Name: Kathleen Wright (nee Higgins) Born: Not known but about 1925 Died: 1 January 1999 Oxford University: 1944 to 1947 She wrote some reports on a couple of churches where she particularly drew attention to their scratch dials: Coln St Aldwyns and Bibury. So far, the biographer has identified only one person who was acquainted with Kathleen and he said, unprompted, that she had a research interest in old sundials. I am pretty dismal at remembering names and do not know whether this person is well known to diallists (with better memories than mine) or is quite unknown. It should be easy to find out the date of birth but I haven't managed even that :-( It should be easy to find out her Oxford College but this is proving challenging too. There weren't many women's colleges in those days so I may have to search each one in turn. If anyone has any leads please let me know.
