Text on plaque inside the Mary Barbour Suite:
Mary Barbour
22 February 1875 - 2 April 1958
This conference suite is dedicated to the memory of one of Govan's great
working class heroes Mary Barbour. This remarkable woman challenged
oppression and poverty in both Govan and Glasgow during the First World War
by saying “NO” to unjustified and extortionate rent increases inflicted upon local
people by wealthy landlords. She organised the city wide Rent Strikes of 1915 and
supported by her “Mrs Barbour’s Women’s Army” of demonstrators forced the
Government to introduce the Rent Restriction Act of 1915. A true Red Clydesider
Mary Barbour was the first woman Labour Councillor elected to the Glasgow
Town Council in 1920 and became the first woman Baillie of the City in 1924.

Plaque to Alexina MacKintosh

Dedicated to: 
Inscription: 

In testimony of the faithful instruction of Alexina MacKintosh who died October 5th 1838 in her 21st year. The Infant School under her tuition for four years was a model of obedience, intelligence and love. Fourteen of her little flock preceded her to the tomb. She taught them to know Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth and the Life. She had herself learnt that "except ye become as little children ye cannot enter the kingdom of God." "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord for they rest from their labours and their works do follow them."
