Maud Annie Phillips first marriage was to Walter Mace Clark who setup the drapery shop in Oxford Street.

This is the second marriage for both of them. Walter Lett was a very gentle person. Also he molded Maud to being more generous in many ways and just one example was the donation of the lands she owned in Salisbury Street, to the RSA for the bowling green.
