Enid Hattersley

Enid Anne Hattersley (née Brackenbury; previously O'Hara; 19 September 1904 – 17 May 2001) was a Labour Party politician from Sheffield, England, who became the city's Lord Mayor in 1981.

When she was 27, Father Frederick Hattersley (known as Roy, his second name), a Roman Catholic priest who was possibly from a recusant family[citation needed] came to order the winter's coal for his presbytery.

[1] Once widowed when her first husband died, Enid O'Hara married Frederick Hattersley, who had left his vocation as a Catholic priest to maintain a relationship with her.

In 1979, as chairman of the Yorkshire Museums Service, she helped persuade the fiscally struggling nearby Kirklees Council not to sell off artwork by Francis Bacon and Henry Moore.

She would help rally the city when HMS Sheffield (D80) sank during the 1982 Falklands War and she led memorials and fund-raising for the families of those killed and wounded.
