Eva Dorothy Brown (14 January 1927 – 8 October 2013) was a campaigner who was recognised with an MBE (1988) for her work to save buildings in Bristol and in the Avon area.

She grew up in a farm and was a student at University of Edinburgh where she met her husband Tom.

Tom, a vet, accepted a job in Bristol and they moved settling in a town house in Clifton.

She started her heritage work when, after moving to Bristol, she got involved in a campaign to stop the construction of a hotel in the Avon Gorge (1970).

Many battles ended up in front of the Secretary of State and many more were pursued through public enquiries where Dorothy Brown was successful in providing historic evidence and analysis to stop the demolitions.
