Noreen Margaret Lowry (née Collins, 6 September 1925 – 30 March 2017) was a British barrister and judge at the Old Bailey, where she was the first permanent female judge.[1][2]
Noreen Margaret Collins was born on 6 September 1925 at 82 Adelaide Road in Hampstead, London.[3] Noreen was the eldest daughter of John Edmund Collins (1895–1971), a paint salesman, and Hilda Grace (née Gregory) (1901–1984).[3]
Collins was educated at Bedford High School, a private school for girls aged 7 to 18 in Bedford, England.[3] Collins was awarded a place at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, but wartime regulations prevented her from taking up the offer.[3] Collins instead read law at the University of Birmingham.[3]
