Kate Fowler Tutt

Kate Matilda Fowler Tutt (1868–1954) was an English headmistress, town councillor and suffragist who was reputedly involved with the removal of Auguste Rodin's sculpture of The Kiss from Lewes Town Hall in 1917.

She moved in 1892 to Lewes, East Sussex, where she was the headteacher of South Malling Elementary School.

It has been reported[4][5] that this was because of protests by Fowler Tutt but later investigation[6] has found no documentary evidence for this narrative.

[4] In 2016 Frances Stenlake published research which found that Fowler Tutt's reputation as a prudish spinster was unfounded.

[6] In 2018 Lewes was celebrating 100 years of some British women being able to vote and Fowler Tutt was recognised for her leadership.
