Hilda Jennings (1894–1978) was a pioneering British community activist, social worker, author, academic and University Settlement Warden. Her work was fundamental in improving lives in working communities beginning in the East End of London, and then in the Bryn Mawr Community and culminating in her work at the Barton Hill University Settlement.
Early life and Education
Jennings was born to an upper-middle class family. Her parents were Arthur Jennings JP, a successful boots manufacturer and building society director, and Anne Madders, from a prominent Staffordshire farming family. Her comfortable background contrasted the lives of those who she would come to help and advocate for.
She attended Stafford Girls' High School and won an open scholarship to attend St Hilda's College, Oxford to study English. From there she studied at the London School of Economics, gaining a Master's degree in Social Science.
