1. Cicely Lascelles Marker
The Lascelles Cup, donated by Cicely in 1932, was an annual event at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club for many years.
Alister Clark was very friendly with her parents, and along with Cicely would regularly 'tee off' together.
Cicely was never married. In later life she moved to Waverley, the family home in Lorne, where her garden included many Alister Clark roses, and from where the rose Zara Hore-Ruthven was rediscovered.
Erected by Hume City Council.

Cicely’s main interest was golf. Her father recognised her flair for the game when she was very young, and encouraged her. She won her first major tournament at Geelong in 1915, when she was twenty years old, where upon her father proudly signed her up as an Associate member of the Royal Melbourne(Submitted on September 22, 2026, by Dean Barton-Ancliffe of Rowville, Victoria.)Golf Club. Her success on the course only improved from there and she remained a member until her death on 30 August 1989. A memorium in the RMGC Newsletter of October 1989 noted that, Miss Lascelles made an outstanding contribution to golf during her lifetime, representing Australia overseas, and playing in many club, state and interstate matches as well as donating the Lascelles Cup in 1922.Photographed by Dean Barton-Ancliffe, August 27, 20262. Cicely Lascelles Marker in the Rose Garden
Cecily Lascelles with her mother in 1922, were the first two women to make the trip from Geelong to Lorne along the newly formed Great Ocean Road track. The ladies drove their own car, accompanying them was the Mayor of Geelong, Howard Hitchcock, president of The Great Ocean Road Trust.
Gardening was also a keen interest. Living at Waverley, the holiday house of her youth, Cicely established a rose garden featuring a number of Clark roses, including her own, “Cicely Lascelles”. The rose was bred by Alister Clark, a family friend of the Lascelles family, and introduced in Australia in 1937. It is a climbing hybrid tea rose with pink shaded salmon, bred as a cross between ‘Frau Oberhofgartner Singer’ and ‘Scorcher’.
