Angela Rumbold


Dame Angela Claire Rosemary Rumbold DBE PC (née Jones; 11 August 1932 – 19 June 2010) was a British Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP) from a 1982 by-election until the 1997 general election.

She was educated at the Perse School for Girls, Cambridge, Notting Hill & Ealing High School and King's College, London. She qualified as a barrister after earning her LLB, but never practised. She travelled across the United States with her father, a physicist who was Pro-Rector of the Imperial College until his death.

She married John Rumbold, a solicitor, by whom she had two sons and a daughter and, as of November 2008, seven grandchildren.

She returned to a working life after raising her children and worked as the Chief Executive for a charity, The National Association for the Welfare of Children in Hospital. Following that post, as she had become a local councillor, she worked at the Greater London Council as a researcher, transferring across to work on the London desk at Conservative Central Office.
