Lilian Brown

Mrs Lilian Brown first arrived in Manor Hall soon after the Second World War and received her degree in 'English Language with its Literature' and a Certificate of Education in 1952. After leaving the University, she became a teacher at St. Georges School and remained there for 30 years, becoming Head of House and Senior Mistress. Her devotion to the school and the students was unquestionable and she took a leading role in addressing race relation issues in one of the most culturally diverse schools in the area. Throughout this time, she was an active member of local and national associations for education and multiculturalism. Within the University, she was an invaluable member of the original Manor Hall Association and the University Convocation Committee. All who have met her benefit enormously from her wisdom, experience and advice. In 2005 she was awarded an Honorary Masters of Arts by the University of Bristol. Lilian was deservedly appointed as Honorary Vice-President when the Association reformed in 2009 for her unwavering dedication to Manor Hall and its residents and her invaluable wealth of experience.
