Elizabeth Braund 1921 – 2013
Elizabeth Margaret Braund MBE passed away on May 20 at her home, East Shallowford Farm on Dartmoor.
She was 91 years old. Born in Kensington in 1921, she was the only child of His Honour Judge Sir Henry and Lady Margaret Braund. Her early years and life experiences in India and Burma encouraged her ability to think critically and after the war she began to work for the BBC, writing scripts and undertaking research. One unlikely research project was the history of the Bible for a radio series, but under God this began the journey that led to her life’s work.
