Clementine Ogilvy Hozier (1885-1977). On 12th September 1908, at St. Margaret's, Westminster, she married seasoned Parliamentarian Winston Churchill. In 1946 she was appointed a Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire, becoming Dame Clementine Churchill GBE. Later, she was awarded honorary degrees by the University of Glasgow and the University of Oxford and later, in 1976, by the University of Bristol. In May 1965, she was created a life peer as Baroness Spencer-Churchill of Chartwell in the County of Kent. She sat as a cross-bencher, but her growing deafness precluded her taking a regular part in parliamentary life. She died in Princes Gate, Knightsbridge, London of a heart attack in 1977. She was 92 years old and had outlived her husband by almost 13 years. Courtesy John and Aithne Barron.
