Alice Meredith Williams

Gertrude Alice Meredith Williams, nee Williams (c. 1877 – 3 March 1934) was a British sculptor, painter, illustrator and stained glass designer.

She was born in Liverpool, the daughter of David Williams (b. 1833), a surgeon. She married the painter Morris Meredith Williams in 1906, and moved with him in 1907 to Danube Street in Edinburgh. In 1929 she and her husband moved to North Tawton in Devon.

Her works include the Paisley War Memorial (in collaboration with Sir Robert Lorimer) in the form of a crusader on horseback, and a war memorial for St. James the Less Episcopal Church in Penicuik. She and her husband again collaborated with Lorimer on the frieze of the Scottish National War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle (1927). Here she created the figure of St. Michael hovering over the casket containing the names of the dead.

She exhibited her works at both the Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Academy of Arts.
