As child, Flora lived with her parents and elder sister at 48 Park Crescent in Brighton.

As a young woman, Flora was present at the opening of the Brighton School of Art, of which her father was Chair, and presented Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll with a programme drawn up the students.

[3] Marian Verrall of West Hoathly would later become the President of the Cuckfield and Central Sussex Women's Suffrage Society and was the sister of Flora's brother-in-law, the classics scholar Arthur Woollgar Verrall.

[2] Flora campaigned to establish a similar society in neighbouring Lewes, visiting the town several times from 1908 onwards, and chairing the meeting that led to the creation of the Lewes Women's Suffrage Society in 1910.

[4] She also led suffrage campaigners on the Great Pilgrimage as they walked through Sussex to London in July 1913.
