PERRONELLE GUILD (NEE CHEVALLIER) | 1902 - 2004
One of three daughters to J.B. Chevallier Perronelle was quite a formidable lady. Perronelle turned 100 in 2002, and was alive for nearly a third of the time that the Chevallier family has lived at Aspall. Sadly, she passed away in 2004 aged 102.
A keen spirit as a child, she was known to pole vault the moat surrounding Aspall Hall. She saw the First World War as a teenager and although shocked and saddened by the great loss of human life, she did find that she had greater freedom to do what she wanted. With the farm hands away she drove the horse and carriage herself - needless to say her journeys through the local area went that little bit faster than before!
As a founder member of the Soil Association in 1946 and one of the first women to attend Reading University she is a truly pioneering spirit.
On the death of her husband in 1978 and at the age of 76 she developed a wandering spirit that took her to Kathmandu, Russia, Egypt, France on painting holidays, Turkey and China.
