Revd Greville Chester, a nineteenth-century benefactor of the Ashmolean Museum.<br />

She was accepted by Wolfson as a student, and the <strong>Record</strong> for 2005–06 prints a<br />

Guardian interview with her (‘In a class of her own’) illustrated by her University<br />

Card. She loved the <strong>College</strong>; her short, sturdy figure could often be seen striding<br />

around the gardens and across the lawns. Unfortunately increasing ill-health meant<br />

she did not finish her thesis, but to the University’s credit, as well as her own, she<br />

was awarded a Certificate of Graduate Attainment in March 2011. Its presentation<br />

in the Divinity School was a source of pride and comfort in her last months.<br />

Her company invigorated friends and colleagues, in contrast to her driving, which<br />

was always stimulating and often terrifying. She was a real academic, a formidable<br />

lady, and always a supportive friend despite her forthright views. We shall miss her.<br />
