Mrs. Maud Grieve [Sophie Emma Magdalene Grieve (1858 1941)] was the principal and founder of The Whins Medicinal and Commercial Herb School and Farm at Chalfont St. Peter in Buckinghamshire, England. Grieve was a Fellow of the Royal Horticultural Society, President of the British Guild of Herb Growers, and Fellow of the British Science Guild. She is best known for this work -- A Modern Herbal (1931). She married William Grieve (18461929) who was manager of the Bally Paper Mill near Calcutta from 1878 to 1894. Maud was involved with charitable causes and was involved with a medical mission in Calcutta. On William Grieve's retirement in 1894, the couple returned to settle permanently back in England, eventually settling in the house William had designed at Chalfont Common, Chalfont St Peter around 1906. They named it The Whins after the yellow gorse that grew in the neighbourhood. At the outbreak of the First World War Maud turned her nursery into an herb farm to address the shortage of supplies of vital medicinal plants. She was a founder member of the short lived National Herb Growing Association (191417) and later president of The British Guild of Herb Growers (est. 1918). During the war she also started The Whins Medicinal and Commercial Herb School. After the war she continued promoting the benefits of herbs, writing over three hundred pamphlets on individual plants. These were edited by Hilda Leyel and were the main source of information in what has become A Modern Herbal, which was published 1931. As the original pamphlets were only about English plants, Mrs. Leyel added American herbs to Mrs. Grieve's pamphlets and checked and edited the whole work, expanding it to eight hundred plants.
