Domini Crosfield

Domini Crosfield, Lady Crosfield, was a British Liberal Party politician and tennis player who lived from 1884 until 15 January 1963. She was born Domini Elliadi in Lancashire, the daughter of the Greek merchant Elie M. Elliadi and Marie Homer, and in 1907 she married Arthur Crosfield, who was created a baronet in 1915. She stood as the Liberal candidate for Islington North at the 1929 general election, and she held many welfare and cultural roles, including founding Pediki Steghi, the Greek day nurseries. She was a championship tennis player who hosted her own charity tennis competition at her home, Witanhurst, immediately after the Wimbledon fortnight, and she entered the women's singles at the 1906 Intercalated Games but did not start.
