She was the mother of the actor Julian Glover and the musician Robert Wyatt.
She was born Honor Ellen Wyatt; through her father, she was a second cousin of politician Woodrow Wyatt.
Through her work at the BBC, Wyatt met the producer C. Gordon Glover, who became her husband.
They had two children, Julian and Prudence.
During the 1930s, Wyatt and her husband lived in Majorca, where they became acquainted with the poets Robert Graves and Laura Riding, who had set up home there.
Wyatt contributed to" Epilogue", the periodical published by Riding and Graves, and her novel," The Heathen", was published by the Seizin Press which they ran.
During the Second World War, the Glovers separated, and Wyatt went to work for the BBC in Bristol, as a scriptwriter for the Children's Department.
Wyatt had by now become friendly with the budding novelist Barbara Pym, who shared the family's Bristol home for a time.
Pym fell in love with Gordon Glover but was eventually rejected by him.
Following their divorce, she became the wife of George Ellidge, an industrial psychologist, who had already fathered her son, Robert; they did not move in together until Robert was six.
Ellidge contracted multiple sclerosis and died in 1963, while the couple were in Italy where they had planned to settle.

Geoffrey Phibbs
Jeoffrey" Geoffrey" Basil Phibbs( 1900 – 1956) was an English- born Irish poet; he took his mother's name and called himself Geoffrey Taylor, after about 1930.
Phibbs was born in Smallburgh, Norfolk.
He was brought up in Sligo, and educated in England at Haileybury.
In 1924 he married the artist Norah McGuinness, whom he divorced in 1930.
Their marriage break- up was initially brought about by his involvement with the poet Laura Riding,
The poetry collection" The Withering of the Fig Leaf"( 1927) was to be published by the Hogarth Press.
At the last moment Phibbs became concerned about perceived anti-Catholic sentiment in it, and asked Leonard Woolf to withdraw it.
Another collection," It Was Not Jones", was issued by Hogarth in 1928, but under the pseudonym R. Fitzurse.
Riding's lover in 1928 Robert Graves visited Phibbs in Sligo; in 1929 Phibbs came to London, and his arrival unbalanced the" menage" of Graves, his wife Nancy Nicholson and Laura Riding.
There are many accounts, generally contested, of subsequent events.
After some bitter wrangling, Graves and Riding lived together in Spain, and Phibbs set up house with Nicholson in Wiltshire.
Phibbs and Norah McGuinness were divorced shortly afterwards.
The relationship with Nancy Nicholson gradually came to an end, and it was she who introduced him to Mary Dillwyn, though she was upset when he began a relationship with Mary.
In 1935 Phibbs married Mary Dillwyn, and in 1940 they returned to Ireland.
He was subsequently known mostly for anthologies, and non-fiction writing.
As literary editor of" The Bell", he gave significant space to poetry from Northern Ireland, and allowed Roy McFadden a critical voice.
His selection," Irish Poems of Today: Chosen from the First Seven Volumes of" The Bell, appeared in 1944.
In the same period he met and struck up a strong friendship with John Betjeman; they worked on several poetry collections.
Phibbs died in Dublin of a heart attack.
