Lord Nuffield’s Wife
FORMER SCHOOL TEACHER Lady Nuffield, modest, camera-shy wife of the British motor magnate, took her husband into the country during a recent week-end to escape telephone calls, telegrams and interviewers. So many people wanted to know from Lord Nuflield what it felt like to give away £1,250,000 to Oxford University—a gift which he followed up with a further £35,000 to the National Institute for the Blind, Lady Nuflield is rarely seen in public. She refuses to bo photographed, aucl dislikes all public functions. Very occasionally Oxford sees her when, quietly dressed, without jewels, she slips into the local theatre and leaves inconspicuously before tlio curtain falls.
One of tho two daughters of Mr William Anstey, Oxford furrier, Lady Nuffield was formerly a school teacher. She married Lord Nuflield—then Bill Morris, mechanic —in 1904.
