Obituary: Mrs. Creighton (1936)

“ Creighton was granted apartments in Hampton Court Palace by King Edward VII. Here she lived until 1927, when she moved to Oxford.
It would be difficult to give an exhaustive account of Mrs. Creighton's activities. The work of the Church oversea had always a foremost place in her life. She was a devoted member of the S.P.G. Standing Committee, and she took a leading part in World Missionary Conferences both in these islands and in the United States an in the Pan-Anglican Congress of 1908. For more than 20 years she was the vice-chairman of the Central Conference of Women's church Work.
