Daphne Oxenford with Quorn Brownies, 1958

Many people will remember Daphne Oxenford as a well known presenter of ‘Listen with Mother’ from 1950 to 1971. She was married to David Marshall, and her mother-in-law, Edith Marshall and her brother-in-law William Marshall, lived on Chaveney Road in Quorn in the 1950s and 1960s. Mrs Marshall was often involved with Quorn Brownies and Guides, and as a result she was able to ask her famous daughter-in-law to open fetes etc, on more than one occasion.

This photograph was taken when Daphne Oxenford visited Quorn on 10th May 1958. Daphne Oxenford also appears in artefact 134
