More information : No. 11 St. Mark's Crescent, London, was the headquarters of the Church League for Women's Suffrage (CLWS) in 1913. The CLWS was established in 1909 to '"band together, on a non-party basis, Suffragists of every shade of opinion who are Church people in order to secure for women the vote in Church and State, as it is or may be granted to men"'. They produced a series of pamphlets on the subject and brought the campaign to the awareness of their congregation at the service held on the first Sunday of every month. By the end of 1913, the CLWS had more than 5000 members and 103 branches. (1)
