Frances Blogg

Frances Alice Blogg Chesterton (28 June 1869 – 12 December 1938) was an English author of verse, songs and school drama.

Throughout their marriage, Frances encouraged his writing; she worked as a manager, keeping his appointments, diary, and accounts, hiring his typists, and negotiating on his behalf with publishers.

[5] G. K. admired Frances's faith and how she lived it out by reading the Bible, teaching Sunday school, and taking care of the sick and elderly.

In G. K. Chesterton's poem The Ballad of the White Horse, he gives Frances the recognition of this impact in his life, showing that she was the reason he converted:[4]Therefore I bring these rhymes to you Who brought the cross to me.

[5] Frances's faith was tested while coping with her brother's suicide, yet the Chestertons helped one another through hard times to maintain their relationship with Jesus.
