Who was Mabel Tylecote?

Dame Dr Mabel Tylecote, DBE was a British Labour Party politician, activist and adult educationist from Manchester, England.

Born to John Ernest Phythian and Ada Crompton Prichard in Manchester, her father was a solicitor, local politician and a lay preacher, with a great interest in the arts and education. She was on the Committee of the Free German League of Culture in Great Britain, founded by published by German and Austrian refugee organisations and supportive British groups, including Albert Einstein, the artist Oskar Kokoschka, writer Thomas Mann and actress Sybil Thorndike. The League had its own publishing company, Inside Nazi Germany, and a major artist, John Heartfield, producing most of its illustrative material.

Tylecote served as a Manchester City Councillor, and stood as a Labour Parliamentary candidate on several occasions. In later years, her husband, Dr. Frank Edward Tylecote, a physician and early researcher into the link between smoking and lung cancer, also served as a City Councillor as a Conservative.
