Lady Cecilia Petrie (née Mason) (15 July 1901 – 8 January 1987) was a local politician in the Kensington area.[1]
The son of F J G Mason of Kensington, in 1926 she married Sir Charles Petrie, 3rd Baronet. She entered municipal politics in 1946 when she was elected to represent Queen's Gate Ward on Kensington Borough Council as a Conservative Party councillor, and was Mayor of Kensington in 1954-1955.[1]
In 1949 she was elected to the London County Council to represent Kensington South and was deputy chairman of the council in 1958-1959.[1]
Both the county council and metropolitan borough were abolished in 1965 and Petrie became an alderman on the new Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council, serving until 1971 when she was made an honorary freeman of the royal borough.[1]
