  Lady Mary Verney 1925-2015
  
  Lady Mary verneyThe College is sad to learn of the death of Lady Mary Verney, a Green Templeton College Radcliffe Common Room Member, who died peacefully on 20 February following some months of poor health.
  
  Mary Verney (née Vestey), is the widow of Sir Ralph Bruce Verney, who was formerly the Chair of the Radcliffe Trust and Honorary Fellow of Green College.
  
  She studied piano with private teachers in Oxford and elsewhere, and at the Royal Academy of Music.
  
  By the later decades of the last century, she had become internationally acclaimed as a fortepianist and was the first professor of fortepiano at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where, with others, she established the Early Music department.
  
  Mary Verney was closely associated from its foundation in 1980 with the Hanover Band - one of the pioneering British early music ensembles which continues today to perform and add to its impressively lengthy discography.
  
  She performs in No.1 of this series (NIM 5003; 1982) as soloist, directing from the keyboard an historically informed performance of the first Beethoven piano concerto. Later, she promoted a much valued series of Claydon Concerts in her family home.
  
  Mary Verney knew Philip Bate and was a member of the committee set up to secure his original gift to the University of Oxford; these instruments now form the nucleus of the Bate Collection.
  
  Following her retirement to Oxford, Mary Verney renewed her contacts with the Bate Collection as a volunteer, and an active member of The Friends of the Bate.
  
  Her involvement with the College began in the 1970s when her husband Sir Ralph Verney, as Chair of the Radcliffe Trust, was involved in discussions with the University about the allocation of the Radcliffe Observatory to what in the 1970s might have been called 'Radcliffe College'. Together they met the philanthropists Cecil and Ida Green, founders of Texas Instruments Inc, whose generous donation and support enabled the foundation of the former Green College that eventually commemorated their name.
  
  After her husband's death Mary Verney continued to take an interest in the College and attended the annual Foundation Dinner.
  
  Details of her funeral will be made known as soon as these are available.
