Biography

[edit]

In 1917, she studied at Somerville College, Oxford under Hilda Lorimer.[1][2] She received her degree in 1920 when Oxford began awarding degrees to women.

In 1924, as a student at the British School at Athens, Hobling joined A. M. Woodward’s archaeological excavation at Sparta.[1][3] She supervised the excavation of the Sanctuary of Athena Chalkioikos, assisted by Winifred Lamb, and was responsible for publishing the findings.[4][5][6]

Later, Hobling lectured at the University of Birmingham and at Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre.[7] In 1957, Hobling served as a Quaker delegate to the British Council of Churches on the subject of nuclear force.[8][9] The editor of Friends’ Quarterly, Hobling, produced several talks and publications on Quaker theology and ethics and delivered the Swarthmore Lecture in 1958.[10][11]
