Constance_Coltman
Constance Mary Coltman (née Todd; 23 May 1889 – 26 March 1969) was one of the first women ordained to Christian ministry in Britain. She practised within the Congregational Church. A decade earlier Gertrude von Petzold became minister at Narborough Road Free Christian (Unitarian) church, Leicester, after studying at Manchester College, Oxford. A generation earlier, in 1880, the Glasgow Universalists ordained Caroline Soule.[1] (The Methodists and Quakers had women preachers from much earlier.)
