[1][2] Born in Dublin, Rait Kerr attended Perse High School, Cambridge, and Stoatley Hall, Haslemere.
She was the first person to hold the position as a permanent full-time role, as previous staff had been either part-time or volunteers.
During her tenure, she organised much of the MCC’s collection of artefacts and documents into a museum, housed in the club’s converted racquets court.
[3] In 1999, when MCC ended its 212-year policy of only admitting men to membership, Rait Kerr was one of the first women members.
Based in a cottage at Little Gaddesden, near Berkhamsted, she would travel abroad to watch Test matches, often on tours organised by The Cricketer magazine.
