Mrs McGrigor-Phillips a.k.a Dorothy Una Ratcliffe (1887-1967). Yorkshire Poet. Born in Brighton of a Yorkshire father, Dorothy moved to Leeds upon her first marriage and began a writing career that lasted from the 1920s to the 1960s, publishing 40 books of poetry, memoirs, character sketches and plays and contributing many articles to the Dalesman and The Yorkshire Post. Her maiden name was Clough. Her first marriage to Charles Ratcliffe (nephew of Edward Allen Brotherton, Lord Brotherton of Wakefield, self-made chemical magnate) ended c.1930 although she retained Ratcliffe as a pen name her whole life. Her second husband was Noel McGrigor-Phillips who died c1942 and with whom she renovated Temple Sowerby Manor (now known as the National Trust property, Acorn Bank in Cumbria). She later married Alfred Charles Vowles in 1947, but refused to change her name, so Alfred changed his to Phillips. She was the youngest ever Lady Mayoress of Leeds (1913-14), officially partnering her widowed father in law. She was a philanthropist and patron of the arts and literature (being responsible for the origination and eventual endowment of the Brotherton collection of early printed books now in Leeds University library). She travelled extensively to Africa, Europe, Iceland and particularly to Greece, but the Second World War and Noel's deteriorating health curtailed foreign travel and directed her to the British Isles. Both with Noel and later with Alfred, a professional photographer from the West Country, she explored Scotland - often in a caravan - and after leaving Temple Sowerby eventually settled in Edinburgh (Anne Street) in the 1950s. She remained there with Alfred for the rest of their married life, and eventually moved to a flat overlooking the sea in North Berwick after Alfred died in the early 1960s. She died in 1967, age 80 with her first novel half-completed. A more complete biography and additional photographs available here: http://www.artisan-harmony.com/durplusbutton.htm
