Kitty Cordeux was born in 1862 in Westbury-on-Trym, the daughter of John Cordeux, a draper.[1]
In 1926, she began a persistent letter-writing campaign urging the BBC to broadcast daily Christian religious services on the radio. The result was The Daily Service, beginning in 1928 and continuing to the present day. Her campaign was documented in the BBC Radio 4 documentary The Lady Behind the Daily Service (2005).[2]
