I inherited an email address on a charity from another person whom we shall call Jane. Although I can send / receive emails for this inherited address now that passwords etc. have been changed, the To or From : field automatically reverts to Jane. How do I change this as it is most annoying.

The best way depends on which email service(s) do you use? The sender's name is established during the email account setup with the email service provider and more commonly on their website. You can log into your email account on the email service provider's website and change the Sender's Name in settings.
If this email is an iCloud email account:
Step 1: Go to iCloud.com and login using your Apple ID username and password.
Step 2: Go to the Mail app.
Step 3: Once the Mail app opens, click on the small gear icon at the very top just above Mailboxes of your screen, then choose Preferences.
Step 4: Go to the Accounts tab.
Step 5: Change your display name to your new name, and tap Done to save the change.
