- Margaret Steuart Pollard, née Gladstone (1 March 1904 – 13 November 1996), was a scholar of Sanskrit, a poet and bard of the Cornish language. She was the founding member of Ferguson's Gang, a secret society of supporters of the National Trust, who had their headquarters at Shalford Mill. She was the great great-niece of Liberal prime minister William Gladstone. From 1920, she attended Newnham College, Cambridge, where she was the first woman to gain first-class honours in Oriental Languages. She married Captain Frank Pollard, an expert on Cornish history, and they lived in Truro, Cornwall. By 1938, she had become a bard, and a member of the Cornish Gorsedd. She published Bewnans Alysaryn, a Cornish-language miracle play, in 1941. She was an enthusiastic supporter of campaigns to defend the landscape, language and traditions of Cornwall and rural England. On one occasion she donated £100 to the National Trust as part of Ferguson's Gang, wearing a full mask to preserve her anonymity. In 1947, a book about her home county, entitled Cornwall, that she had written was published by Paul Elek. She has been described as "humorous, perceptive, and intelligent". In 1951 she converted to Roman Catholicism, and in 1973 built a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Our Lady of the Portal and St Piran on the site of a medieval chapel in Truro. For this she received the Benemerenti Medal from the Pope. She remained an active poet and translator throughout her long life. She had given away much of her inherited wealth after her husband's death in 1968 and lived in a one-up-one-down, which was an old tin miner's cottage on Richmond Hill Truro Truro. She remained a romantic figure, dressed as she was in a long skirt and a scarf wrapped around her head. She died at the age of 93 on 13 November 1996 at Truro. (en)
- Scoláire na Sanscraite, file agus bard na Coirnise, ba ea Margaret Steuart Pollard, née Gladstone ( 1 Márta 1904 – 13 Samhain 1996 ). Ba í an duine a bhunaigh Ferguson's Gang, cumann rúnda de lucht tacaíochta an tIontaobhais Náisiúnta (National Trust), a raibh a gceanncheathrú ag "Shalford Mill" , Surrey. Ba shin-gharneacht í don phríomh-aire Liobrálach William Gladstone . Ón bhliain 1920 ar aghaidh, d’fhreastail sí ar Newnham College, Cambridge, áit arbh í an chéad bhean í a ghnóthaigh céad onóracha i dTeangacha Oirthearacha. Phós sí an Captaen Frank Pollard, saineolaí ar stair na Coirnise, agus bhí cónaí orthu i dTruru, Corn na Breataine. Faoi 1938, bhí sí ina bard, agus ina ball de Ghorsedd an Choirn. D’fhoilsigh sí Bewnans Alysaryn, dráma míorúilteach sa Choirnis, i 1941. Thacaigh sí go mór le feachtais chun tírdhreach, teanga agus traidisiúin Chorn na Breataine agus thuaithe Shasana a chosaint. Ar ócáid amháin bhronn sí £100 ar an Iontaobhas Náisiúnta mar bhall den Ferguson's Gang, ag caitheamh masc iomlán chun a neamhainmníocht a chaomhnú. Sa bhliain 1947, d’fhoilsigh Paul Elek leabhar faoina contae dúchais, dar teideal Cornwall, a scríobh sí. Cuireadh sí fúithi mar dhuine ''humorous, perceptive, and intelligent". Sa bhliain 1951, d'iompaigh sí ar an Caitliceachas Rómhánach, agus i 1973 thóg sí séipéal Caitliceach Rómhánach a bhí tiomnaithe do Mhuire na Tairsí agus do Naomh Peran ar shuíomh séipéil meánaoiseach dTruru. Mar sin fuair sí Bonn Benemerenti ón bPápa. D’fhan sí ina file agus ina aistritheoir gníomhach ar feadh a saoil fhada. Thug sí cuid mhaith dá saibhreas ar shiúl le hoidhreacht tar éis bhás a fir chéile i 1968 agus bhí cónaí uirthi i dteachín one-up-one-down, a bhí ina sean-teachín mhianadóir stáin ag Quenchwell, Sen Ke, in aice le Truru. D'fhan sí ina figiúr rómánsúil, cóirithe mar a bhí sí i sciorta fada agus scarf fillte timpeall a ceann. D’éag sí in aois a 93 ar an 13 Samhain 1996 i dTruru (ga)
