She was a cousin of Margaret Agnes Rope of Shrewsbury, another English stained-glass artist in the same tradition active from 1910 until the Second World War.

By comparison, she was the more prolific as an artist, with an approach that evolved in her later years from a recognisable Arts and Crafts school style into something simpler and more modern.

Another cousin was Henry Edward George Rope, later to become a prominent Roman Catholic priest, writer and archivist.

From about 1911 she worked at The Glass House (Fulham) with her cousin, Margaret Agnes Rope, for example on the set of windows for SS Peter and Paul, Newport, Shropshire.

She also cared for evacuee children at three hospitals in North Wales during World War II with Townshend & Howson, before moving to Storrington in Sussex.

Spanning a period of over 50 years, her artistic production was largely destined for Anglican churches (especially Anglo-Catholic), with a few Roman Catholic ones as well.
