Frances Alice Blogg Chesterton (28 June 1869 – 12 December 1938) was an English author of verse, songs and school drama. The wife of G. K. Chesterton, she had a large role in his career as his amanuensis and personal manager. Frances was born on 28 June 1869, the first of seven children of George William Blogg and Blanche (née Keymer). The family was of French Huguenot origin, the last name being anglicised from de Blogue. Frances's mother taught her and her sisters to think independently, having them attend London's first kindergarten. She was educated at a progressive Ladies' School in Fitzroy Square run by Rosalie and Minna Praetorius, followed by Notting Hill High School. Her father died when she was fourteen years old. Later, she attended St Stephen's College for two years as a pupil teacher. She taught Sunday school at an Anglican church in Bedford Park. There, she became very involved in her faith by reading the Bible and devoting herself to the saints.
