Agnes Freda Forres

Agnes Freda Forres, Baroness Forres ( Herschell; 9 October 1881 – 5 May 1942) was a British artist known for her sculpture work in bronze and plaster.

Biography Forres was born in Weybridge in Surrey. She was the daughter of Lord Herschell, the British Solicitor-General and later Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, and appears to have been educated abroad. In 1912 she married Sir Archibald Williamson, a politician and businessman who became Lord Forres. Between 1926 and 1938 Forres exhibited five works at the Royal Academy in London.

In 1930 Forres commissioned a relief sculpture, The Mocking Birds, from Jagger for her home in London and helped to organise his memorial exhibition in 1935. During World War II, Forres worked on a number of relief committees but died in May 1942 when she fell under a train at Green Park tube station in central London.
