Blue plaque tribute to Keighley-district pioneer

The unveiling took place at Oldfield, where Margaret Wintringham was born.
Mrs Wintringham became the first-ever female Liberal MP in 1921 and was the first British woman to take a seat in parliament.
The Yorkshire Society blue plaque has been installed at Oldfield Primary School, where she taught.
James Travers – headteacher at Oldfield Primary, part of the Bronte Academy Trust – said: “We are thrilled to acknowledge that Margaret Wintringham was born here.
“The legacy within the Bronte Academy Trust of successful women, who lead and shape young children’s lives, is something we are extremely proud to continue to foster. Our namesake, the Bronte sisters, are testament to a long history of female accomplishment.”
