Dame Joan Evans, DBE (22 June 1893 – 14 July 1977) was a British historian of French and English mediaeval art, especially Early Modern and medieval jewellery; her notable collection was bequeathed to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Born at Nash Mills, Apsley, Hertfordshire, she was the daughter of antiquarian and businessman Sir John Evans and his third wife, Maria Millington Lathbury (1856–1944). She was educated privately before going up to St Hugh's College, Oxford to read Archaeology. She graduated in 1916 as M.A. and was awarded a DLitt in 1930. A Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, Evans served as the first woman President of that Society 1959–64. In 1950, her book ''Cluniac Art of the Romanesque Period'', which concerned art and sculptures made by the monks of the abbey at Cluny in eastern France, was published by Cambridge University Press. She was half-sister to Sir Arthur Evans,excavator of Knossos and discoverer of Minoan civilisation. Sir Arthur Evans was forty two years her senior. He caused huge hilarity at an antiquarian conference of learned and erudite gentlemen when he brought in a four-year-old Joan to be 'shown off!' The Royal Institution of Great Britain's records suggest that she was the first ever female at the Institution to deliver, on 8 June 1923, a Friday Evening Discourse which she entitled 'Jewels of the Renaissance'. ==Bibliography== * English Jewellery from the Fifth Century A.D. to 1800 London, Methuen & Co., 1921; * Magical Jewels of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance particularly in England Oxford Clarendon Press 1922 * Anglo Norman Lapidaries 1924 Not currently available * Life in Mediaeval France.
