Editing Dorothy Clutterbuck (section)

==Biography==
Clutterbuck was born in [[British India]], and was the daughter of Thomas St. Quentin Clutterbuck, a British army officer. After her father's retirement, she appears to have moved back to England and to have lived with him in the [[Christchurch,_Dorset|Christchurch]] area of the [[New Forest]] in southern England. After her father's death, she continued to live in the same house alone, but at the age of 55 she married Rupert Fordham, a local [[Justice of the Peace]] who was of high rank in the [[Salvation Army]]. Fordham died in May 1939 in a car accident.

Clutterbuck appears to have been an outwardly respectable member of the local community, a supporter of the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] and the [[Church of England]]. She left a sizeable legacy to the local Anglican priest in her will. Her estate was valued at £60,000, a very large sum for the time. The one scandal attached to her was an allegation that Rupert Fordham was already married to a mentally ill woman, so that the two were not legally married. Clutterbuck had reverted to her maiden name by the time of her death.
