History
Lily Hudson (1920–2023) was the first secretary of the Antiquarian Horological Society. She worked as a personal assistant at an RAF training centre during the Second World War and in 1950 joined the British Horological Institute to work as an assistant to Major Cowen, the BHI Secretary. She became instrumental in organising BHI trips to France and Switzerland in 1950 and 1951. Her meticulous recordkeeping was crucial to the eventual formation of the Antiquarian Horological Society in 1953. After leaving the AHS in 1956, she remained in touch and took part in the Society’s milestone celebrations as an honoured guest.
