Frances Evelyn "Daisy" Greville, Countess of Warwick (née Maynard; 10 December 1861 – 26 July 1938) was a campaigning socialist who supported many schemes to aid the less well off in education, housing, employment, and pay.
She established colleges for the education of women in agriculture and market gardening, first in Reading, then in Studley.
She established a needlework school and employment scheme in Essex as well as using her ancestral homes to host events and schemes for the benefit of her tenants and workers.
She was a long-term confidant or mistress to the Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VII. She was the inspiration behind the popular music hall song "Daisy, Daisy".
