Mrs Kathleen Stewart Murray

1926 - 2016

(née Hargreaves)

Guild Member (in College 1942 to 1944, St Bridget's)

Kathleen joined College as she prepared for Higher Certificates and University Entrance Examinations in the Arts. Her passion centred around Fine Arts, Singing, Dancing and Music. 

Originally from Alderley Edge in Cheshire where her family had interests in the cloth mills, Kathleen travelled extensively during her life in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. She eventually settled in London and, in her latter years, connected closely with College. 

Her Volvo 1800 ES two-door Station Wagon circa 1973, designed by Jan Wilsgaard was one of her prized possessions. 

She was immensely proud of her connection with Cheltenham Ladies’ College and passionate about the gift of an outstanding education.
