Kezia Peache

Alfred paid for the construction of the London College of Divinity and when his money was gone then Kezia agreed to contribute from her fortune.

[2] From the 1850s she was a major supporter of the Cottage Improvement Society and their work in Wimbledon to create a home for people of limited means.

The Bertram Colleges were designed by Henry Charles Forde[3] whose main business was laying international telephone cables.

[1] In 1879 Peache and her brother took an interest in a Tudor palace in Essex and these philanthropists became the Lord and Lady of the Manor of Layer Marney.

The college of divinity that she and her brother funded lasted for 156 years before it closed in 2019 with a falling role and poor finances.
