Kathleen Major FBA (1906–2000) was a British historian, and principal of St Hilda's College, Oxford, from 1955 to 1965.
[1] The Daily Telegraph called her "the foremost historian of the medieval cathedral and diocese of Lincoln".
The success of her father's business led the family to move to Holbeach in Lincolnshire before the end of the First World War.
In 1935, with the help of a strong reference from Frank Stenton, she was appointed chief officer of the Lincoln Diocesan Record Office, and from 1935 to 1975 she served as general editor of the Lincoln Record Society, combining the post with the secretaryship from 1935 to 1956.
From the 1960s onwards, she produced a number of pamphlets for the Friends of Lincoln Cathedral.
