Ursula Vaughan Williams
March 15th, 1911 - October 23rd, 2007
It is with deep sadness and regret that The Ralph Vaughan Williams Society
announces that
Ursula Vaughan Williams has passed away at the age of 96.
Ursula was the Society's honorary
Vice President since its inception and was an active and generous supporter of
the Society. She had been unwell for some time, although it was only a short
time ago when she attended the Albion
Records launch on 8th October, that she
looked in excellent health.
The RVW Society was honoured to produce Ursula's books, The
Complete Poems of Ursula Vaughan Williams and her autobiography Paradise
Remembered. Both
books are available from Albion
Music on this website.
Stephen Connock pays tribute.
