Biographical Notes Though she had to give up most of her training as an architect due to ill health, she experimented with house design by building a house for her parents and aunt. Later became a builder, designing and building hundreds of houses on new Leeds building estates, making it a rule to start the day with a couple hours of bricklaying.
