Mr & Mrs Claridge

Grace Pashler married Gordon Claridge in 1940.
She was a talented artist and did many sketches for fund raising, and of the town.
December 1942 - Mrs Grace Claridge presented her original sketch of St.Mary’s Church as seen from the War Memorial Garden, to HMS Quorn. Her husband was serving and in making her sketch she had particularly in mind “all the Rushden boys in North Africa.”
April 1943 - A design by Mrs Grace Claridge was chosen as the “Wings Week” indicator, for Rushden Area “Wings For Victory Week”. It was based upon a winged globe above which a Spitfire ascended.
