Freda Aykroyd, née Buttery, was born in Shropshire and grew up in London and South Africa. In 1930, she married Wallace Aykroyd and moved with him to Coonoor in the Nilgiri Hills of Southern India, where Wallace had been appointed Director of the Nutrition Research Laboratories. The Aykroyds kept open house for recuperating officers at their home, Highfield, and it was there that Freda met Alun Lewis in July 1943 when the latter was on sick leave during his military service in India. Freda and Alun enjoyed a brief but passionate love affair from this time until his death in March 1944. In 2006, Freda published Alun Lewis's letters to her under the title A Cypress Walk (Enitharmon Press, 2006), along with a short memoir on Lewis and their brief time together. See also John Pikoulis: Alun, Gweno & Freda (Seren Books, 2015).
