Winifred Brenchley
Winifred Elsie Brenchley OBE, DSc (Lond), FLS, FRES (1883–1953), an agricultural botanist who worked at the
Rothamsted Research Station. Along with
Katherine Warington, she demonstrated the role of
boron as an essential

UK to break into the male-dominated sphere of agricultural science. She has been described as "perhaps Britain's leading authority on weeds in the early twentieth century".
