Joan Mary Quennell (23 December 1923 – 2 July 2006) was Conservative Member of Parliament for Petersfield. Quennell was educated at Bedales School, Petersfield and served with the Women's Land Army during World War II. She was the manager of a mixed dairy and arable farm and served as a West Sussex County Councillor 1951-61. She was a governor of Crawley College of Further Education. First elected to Parliament at the Petersfield by-election, 1960, Quennell had been chairman of the Horsham Divisional Conservative Association. She stood down from parliament in the October 1974 general election, and continued to live at the family home near Rogate until her death. Quennell died in hospital in Chichester on 2 July 2006, having had recurring bouts of poor health since suffering a stroke a few years earlier. Her remains were cremated.〔(Obituary - Joan Quennell ), Petersfield Post 2006-07-20〕 Quennell bequeathed her Dangstein estate, near Rogate, to the National Trust. In 2008, the Trust sold the estate to new owners who dismissed the staff and evicted tenants at the end of their agreements resulting in allegations that the Trust had not complied with Quennell's wishes. ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joan Quennell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
