Constance Anne Wilson (12 July 1927 – 8 January 2023) was a British food historian and librarian.
She subsequently obtained a London postgraduate diploma in the Archaeology of the Iron Age and the Roman Provinces.
She was subject librarian for classics, archaeology, and ancient history, to which she subsequently added art and music.
In the mid-1960s she catalogued the John F. Preston collection of historic cookery books (at the time a recent gift to the Library), which led to her developing an interest in food history.
[1] She published the wide-ranging Food and Drink in Britain in 1973, and her more specialised The Book of Marmalade: its antecedents, its history and its rôle in the world today won the 1984 Diagram Prize for the oddest title of the year at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
