Dame Honor Fell (1900-1986), biologist and zoologist, did important work on rheumatoid arthritis. Her papers are held at the Wellcome Library and have been digitised: see https://wellcomelibrary.org/collections/digital-collections/makers-of-modern-genetics/digitised-archives/honor-fell/. For more information about her, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_Fell. Wychwood School, founded in 1897, is an independent day and boarding school for girls aged from 11 to 18: details at http://www.wychwoodschool.org/. At the time of its foundation the school was considered somewhat advanced because of its emphasis on educating girls in science: as the plaque indicates, this approach clearly paid off.
