August 25, 2023

Clara Coltman Vyvyan (née Rogers; 1885 – 1 March 1976) was an Australian-born travel writer.[1][2][3] She published under the names C. C. Rogers and C. C. Vyvyan.[1]

Biography Edit

Vyvyan was born in 1885 on her family's cattle station in Stanage, Queensland, Australia. Her mother Charlotte Williams was from Cornwall, England, and her father, Edward Powys Rogers, was a member of the Coltman Rogers family of Stanage Park in Powys, Wales.[1] In 1887 the family returned to live in Cornwall, although they continued to spend 6 months a year in Queensland; Vyvyan and her sister were educated by a governess at home. Vyvyan later studied at the Women's University Settlement in London, England, and became a social worker.[4]

During World War I, Vyvyan served as a nurse at Rouen, France. After the war ended, she travelled across Canada and Alaska, writing articles for publication.[4]

In 1929, Vyvyan married Sir Courtenay Bourchier Vyvyan, the 10th Vyvyan baronet.[2][3][5] When he died 12 years later, she inherited Trelowarren estate and house. Her close friend Daphne du Maurier used the house and gardens as settings for her novels Frenchman's Creek and Rebecca.[1][4]

Both lovers of travel and the great outdoors, Vyvyan set off on a three month walk with du Maurier in 1952 along the Rhône river in France. Annabel Abbs retraced the pair's steps 70 years later in her book, Windswept: Walking in the Footsteps of Remarkable Women (Two Roads, 2021).
