Peggy Fenner

Dame Peggy Edith Fenner, DBE (born 12 November, 1922) is a British Conservative Party politician.

Fenner was elected MP for Rochester and Chatham in 1970, lost the seat in October 1974 to Labour's Robert Bean but regained it in 1979.

In 1983 the seat was abolished and Dame Peggy became MP for Medway, which she lost in 1997 to Labour's Robert Marshall-Andrews.

Upon the death of Baroness Jeger on 26 February 2007, Fenner became the oldest living woman to have served as an MP in the United Kingdom.
