Alice Ottley

[1] When she was about ten, her family moved to Yorkshire as her father became the rector at Richmond.

In 1854, she was amongst three of the daughters who were sent to a small school in London, but Alice was unhappy and she returned to Richmond.

[3] Canon Butler had arrived in Worcester in 1881 and he founded a new school for girls.

[2] Ottley remained headmistress until 1912 when, having interviewed her successor, she retired.

In 1957, the City of Worcester added its own, more lasting commemoration, in the form of a window in the cloisters of the cathedral.
