Blue Plaque to three Pioneering Political Suffragists to be placed on Hatfeild Hall. 

Gwendoline Beaumont, Florence Beaumont and Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett’s political legacy to equal franchise will be marked with a blue plaque in an evening of celebration at Hatfeild Hall on the 10th of March, hosted by Dream Time Creative, as part of 2026 International Women’s Day Celebrations. 

Hatfeild Hall, home to the Beaumont family between 1899 and 1922 was a nationally significant regional centre for the campaign for Votes for Women. With momentous visits from the leader of the National Union of Women’s Suffragist Societies confirming Wakefield’s importance, Millicent Fawcett’s name will also appear on the plaque, something both the Directors of the hall, and the family are delighted with.
