Gwladys Amy WILLIAMS [13360]

  General Notes:

Gladys is described by her son Dermot thus "my mother was a witty, scintillating woman full of Joie de vivre and an excellent hostess. She had very fixed ideas about social status and could not bear social climbers and pretentious people. She was a fanatically keen gardner and spent hours in perfecting her 10 acre garden, Belmont with its spectacular rockery on the edge of the tennis court."
