5 De Freville Avenue
History of 5 De Freville Avenue
1911
Rosamond Phillpott, 50, bookbinder artistic, b Somerset
Marguerite Ninet, visitor, 56, teacher of languages, b Switzerland
Annie Nightingale, servant, 26, b Girton
It seems quite likely that this is the same Rosamond Phillpott who stood for election in 1908 alongside Julia Kennedy but the two were both defeated. It wasn’t until 1914 that Cambridge would have its first woman councillor, Florence Ada Keynes.
