Anthony married Felicity Ann ROUTH [25929] [MRIN: 9927], daughter of J D ROUTH [25930] and Ethel Blanche DAUBENY [25931].
The child from this marriage was:
480 M i. James VOSPER [25932] .
451. Prof. BLACKSTONE Mp [25958] .
General Notes: Tessa became interested in politics at the age of 17. As part of a sixth-form project at Ware Grammar School for Girls she was asked to act as a companion to an old woman in Hertford who lived in ‘total and abject poverty’ and slept on a bale of straw. Coming from an affluent background, this shocked her deeply. Not surprisingly, her stint at the London School of Economics in the 1960s strengthened her convictions about social and racial injustice. She became active in the Labour Party.
Tessa and her husband Tom arrived in Stoke Newington in 1969 and bought a house in Grazebrook Road. Tom died in 1985 and Tessa Blackstone stayed on with their two children until 1988 when she moved to Amwell Street, Islington where she now lives with her partner James Strachan, Chief Executive at the Royal National Institute for the Deaf. Her daughter Liesel, a BBC TV documentary maker, still lives in the same house in Grazebrook Road.
2004, Baroness Tessa Blackstone is to head a university for the second time as vice-chancellor of the University of Greenwich. She was the Labour government's education spokesman in the Lords from 1997 until 2001, moving to become Minister of State for Culture and Arts until last year (2003). She had special responsibility for higher education, and as the former master of Birkbeck College London for a decade was welcomed in Labour's honeymoon period as someone who understood the sector.
Her egalitarian views were less welcome at Oxbridge, where she began to phase out the special college fee they enjoyed, and it is perhaps appropriate that she has gone to a new university.
Baroness Blackstone was educated at Ware grammar school for girls and the London School of Economics (LSE), where she went on to take her doctorate. Her academic career began at the former Enfield College (now Middlesex University), before she went on to become a lecturer at LSE and professor of educational administration at the University of London Institute of Education.
In 1987, Tessa Blackstone was awarded a life peerage and in 2001 she was appointed to the privy council. She has served as chairwoman of the ballet board of the Royal Opera House, the Fabian Society and the Institute for Public Policy Research and has sat on the governing bodies of numerous other organisations.
Commenting on her appointment, Baroness Blackstone, who takes up her new appointment in September, said: "The University of Greenwich has a powerful mission to help meet the needs of this country in the 21st century. I am particularly attracted by its ambition to bring together the best of the "old" and the "new" university traditions. Greenwich has many great assets which offer unusual opportunities - not least its unrivalled location spanning the Thames Gateway, one of the biggest new developments in Europe. I look forward to working with staff, students and all the many partners that the university has at home and overseas, to help it achieve its potential."
Tessa has written a number of books on Social Policy & Administration.
The popular Press in UK refers to her as the "Red Baroness".
