Answering the call from English Heritage, I nominated my grandmother, Gwen Mullins, for a blue plaque in London (Letters 31 May). She was a self-taught weaver whose rugs are in the V&A. Before the Crafts Council existed, she set up a foundation to support other craftsmen and women and in 1974 received an OBE. She managed all this while being a loyal support for her husband, an outspoken magistrate. Sadly, these achievements were not enough for English Heritage to think her worthy of a plaque.

• It was the reluctance of English Heritage to install plaques outside London that led the Woolton Society in south Liverpool to instigate our own programme of heritage plaques in 2019.
