She subsequently married William Walrond Jackson Jr shortly after he became Rector of Exeter College, Oxford in 1887.
Her money now supports graduate studentships[1] and junior members suffering hardship; she is the greatest benefactor to Exeter College in modern times.
As Exeter's First Lady she blossomed in the role of the Rector's wife, providing a focus for the social and cultural life of the college and, in so doing, won the respect and affection of all who knew her.
[3] After the Rector resigned in 1913 the Jacksons lived at 18 Bardwell Road, north Oxford, where they continued to receive visitors.
Amelia's consideration for people from every walk of life, whether they were distinguished colleagues of her husband's or the kitchen staff, was one of her most endearing characteristics; all were treated with kindness and civility.
