Historian, charity founder and fierce protector of our countryside, Margaret Ashby, sadly died on Monday, March 8, aged 80.
Tributes have poured in for the community stalwart who lived in Stevenage her entire life, dedicating herself to a huge number of causes.
IN 1989, Margaret co-founded Friends of Forster Country - alongside Dr John Hepworth - and later campaigned hard against the development which will see 800 homes and a primary school built on the land between North Road and Weston Road.
