Biography
Holidaying in Ilfracombe
Tilly Toke immortalised on a bronze Chocolate Frog Card
Tilly had been holidaying with her family in Ilfracombe, in Devon in 1932. One day, a rogue Common Welsh Green dragon swooped down upon the beach, full of sunbathing Muggles. Along with her family, Tilly fended off the attack, thus preventing any fatalities. The family then proceeded to perform "the largest batch of Memory Charms this century" on the inhabitants of Ilfracombe.[2]
The Toke family were all awarded Order of Merlin, First Class, for their heroic actions in Ilfracombe.[2] She was also immortalised on a bronze Chocolate Frog Card for her achievement.[1]
