The Chemistry Department of the newly formed King s College of Household and Social Science initially fell under the overall direction of Herbert Jackson30 of King s College, The Strand.18 Following Seward s departure in 1914, the staff based at Kensington Square were Henry Llewellyn Smith and an Assistant Lecturer, Helen Masters. 

The Domestic Science Training College was staffed very largely by women. It was to Battersea Polytechnic that Marion Soar, Helen Masters, and Phyllis Garbutt had moved from King s College for Women. In addition, the two chemistry positions — Chemistry Physics, and Chemistry as Applied to Household Processes — were traditionally held by women. For example, in the 1919-1920 Battersea Polytechnic Calendar, the staff for both subjects were Claudia McPherson and Marjorie Sudds. 

Dudley took a prominent part in the Civil War as a Royalist and in 1642 he was busy making cast iron cannon at his foundries for use by the King s troops. He died in 1684 at the ripe age of 85, and in the church of St Helen s at Worcester a large monument was erected on the South Wall to his memory.
