Life
Edith Caroline Parnell was born in Gillingham, Kent, England, in 1870.[1] Her father was Colonel Hon. Arthur Parnell (1841–1914) and her mother was Mary Anne Dunn.[1][2]
On 7 April 1891, Edith married Venerable William Farmiloe, then vicar of St Peter's in Great Windmill Street, Soho, London.[1][2] She was living with her husband at 124 Ashley Gardens, opposite Westminster Cathedral in 1901 and was by then listed in the census as an "artist'". In 1905, Rev. Farmiloe and his wife moved to South Hackney where he became vicar of St. Augustine's overlooking Victoria Park.[1]
Farmiloe died on 26 March 1921 at Abbey House, Bury St Edmund's, Suffolk, aged 50, and is commemorated in a stained glass window memorial by Robert Anning Bell in St James's, Nayland. The text reads "Edith Caroline Farmiloe and her life-work among women and children are here commemorated by her husband...who shared in her work and found in her fellowship and example an inspiration for his ministry in London."
