Sad News About Margaret

It is with great sorrow that we have to report that our dear friend and the esteemed editor of the Camberwell Quarterly, Margaret Powley-Baker, passed away peacefully Tuesday morning (9th September 2019). Margaret was a Camberwell resident for over 30 years and editor of the Quarterly for the last 10.

Her gentle wit and positive attitude to the foibles of life will be greatly missed.

RIP Margaret Powley-Baker (1934-2019)
