About Anne Brewis
- Lady Anne Brewis MBE (26 March 1911 – 31 March 2002), daughter of Roundell Cecil Palmer, 3rd Earl of Selborne was an English botanist. As a child, Brewis had spent long holidays studying the orchids on Noar Hill, near Selborne.
- This led her to study the works of Gilbert White, and eventually to a degree in Zoology at Somerville College, Oxford.
- Her marriage to John Brewis took her to many localities before returning to Hampshire on her husband's retirement.
- Over the next 27 years, she meticulously catalogued hundreds of species, and co-authored the definitive guide to Hampshire's plant life.
- Every summer she would organise botanical safaris for local children.
