Lois Lang-Sims (fl 1936-1995) was a distant relation of Agnes Maude Royden and a member of her congregation at the Guildhall in 1936. Through this, the two became friends until the latter's death. Lang-Sims had a strong interest in spiritual matters, which was exhibited in a number of books which she published over a series of decades from One Thing Only: A Christian Guide to the Universal Quest for God, to The presence of Tibet in 1963 and Canterbury Cathedral in 1979. She also had a brief friendship with the writer Charles Williams whose letters to her were published as Letters to Lalage in 1989.

The copy of Lois Lang-Sims's memoir of Agnes Maude Royden was given to the Women's Library by her in 1995.

The archive consists of a photocopy of a typescript memoir (28 pages). In 1985 Lois Lang-Sims wrote this memoir about her aunt, Agnes Maude Royden (see also 7AMR) the suffragist and campaigner for the ordination of women.
