Adeline Horsey Recollections. The wicked Countess and her lover lived at Clieveden [Map] - "the bower of wanton Shrewsbury and of love" - and her spirit is supposed to haunt the beautiful riverside retreat, but I am thankful to say she has never appeared in the old home of her innocent girlhood. Her portrait by Sir Peter Lely hangs in the White Hall at Deene, and is a fine example of the artist's well-known very décolleté style of "robes loosely flowing, hair as free", with the usual mise en scène of a beauty of Charles II's time. The [his father] third Earl of Cardigan was Master of the Buckhounds to Queen Anne; he married a [his mother] daughter of the [his grandfather] Earl of Ailesbury, and their fourth son inherited the Ailesbury title and estates. Lord Cardigan's [his brother] eldest son married the heiress of the Duke of Montagu in 1766 [Note. Married on 07 Jul 1730. He was created Duke in 1766]. He was a friend of Horace Walpole, the influence of whose pseudo-Gothic tastes may still be seen in the south front of Deene [Map], built at this time, and which now incorporates the great ball-room built for me by my dear husband.

[his daughter] Caroline Anne Brudenell was born to Thomas Brudenell 1st Earl Ailesbury and Susanna Hoare Countess Ailesbury.
