Juliet Camilla Frankland FLS (née Brown, 30 January 1929 – 9 June 2013), was a British botanist and mycologist, and "a world expert on fungi".[1]

Early life[edit]

She was born Juliet Camilla Brown on 30 January 1929 at High Barn Eaves, Effingham, Dorking, Surrey, the younger daughter of Walter Henry Brown (1893/4–1956), a Ministry of Works civil servant, and his wife, Gerda Lois Brown, née Grenside (1885–1961), an artist.[2]

She earned a bachelor's degree and PhD from Royal Holloway, University of London.[3]

Career[edit]

In 1956, she started her career, working for the Nature Conservancy (later part of the Natural Environment Research Council) as a mycologistatMerlewood, Grange-over-Sands, Lancashire.[2] This later became the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology.[1]

In 1969, Frankland was elected as a fellow of the Linnean Society.[2]

Frankland was president of the British Mycological Society (BMS) in 1995.[3]

Personal life[edit]

On 3 June 1959, she married (Edward) Raven Percy Frankland (1918–1997), a farmer from Ravenstonedale, near Kirkby Stephen, Westmorland, the son of scientist and novelist Edward Percy Frankland, and grandson of the chemist Sir Edward Frankland.[2]

They lived at Bowberhead, a farmhouse a few miles from Ravenstonedale, and did not have any children.[2]

Later life[edit]

In 1997, her husband Raven Frankland died suddenly, and she was left to run the estate alone.[2] Her sister, Dame Gillian Brown, a retired diplomat, and the UK's ambassador to Norway, 1981 to 1983, moved to Bowberhead to help, but died unexpectedly in 1999.[2]

Frankland suffered severe depression, and moved into Stobars Hall, a care home in Kirkby Stephen, where she died on 9 June 2013 from dementia and cardiovascular disease.[2]
