Parents: Albert Roger Pennington, Post Office supervisor, and Margaret, née Elliott. Spouse: (25 February 1942 )Thomas Gaskell Tutin FRS 1982. Children: Three daughters and one son. Distinguished for her contributions on the history of lake ecosystems and vegetation in northern Britain. Her early researches were on the sedimentation and ecological history of Windermere since the end of the last glaciation. She demonstrated a late-glacial oscillation in northern Britain for the first time and she was able to demonstrate the associated sedimentary and vegetational events. Examined in detail the vegetational history of the Lake District. Developed pioneering palaeolimnological studies of Lake District lakes, and demonstrated how chemical studies of lake sediments revealed much about the vegetation and soil history of catchments. She later extended this field of study to lakes in northern Scotland. Also worked on pollen frequency methods, palaeomagnetic dating methods and tracer element studies to palaeolimnological problems.
