Campbell, Thalia (Thalia Delphine Campbell (née Childs) was born in Torquay in 1937. Her father had a tailor's shop on the seafront. Influenced by her grandmother who had witnessed the Suffragettes clashing with the police in early 20th century London, Thalia became politically aware from a young age. She completed a two year teacher-training course at Matlock College, Derbyshire, and became a primary school teacher. In 1959, she met her husband, Ian Campbell. They had four children in the 1960s. The family moved to Wales in the late 1960s. Between 1973-6, Thalia studied for an art degree at Aberystwyth, and eventually became an extra-mural lecturer for the college. In 1981, she was one of the founders of the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp, and became well-known for making banners to display on the military base's perimeter fence.)
