A Treasured Moment with Lady Stavordale: A 1938 Montage of Her Passions and Joys This montage photograph, taken in 1938, immortalizes the enchanting Lady Stavordale, formerly Helen Elizabeth Ward, in the embrace of her cherished world. Lady Stavordale, the beloved wife of Edward Fox-Strangways, 7th Earl of Ilchester, is seen surrounded by her most treasured possessions and pastimes. At the heart of this idyllic scene, Lady Stavordale's children, Teresa and Giles, sit playfully on the ground, their youthful energy and innocence a stark contrast to their mother's refined elegance. Tragically, Giles, the younger of the two, was taken from them all too soon, as he passed away at the tender age of 13. The loving bond between Lady Stavordale and her canine companions, Wendy the Pekingese and Polly the Sealyham Terrier, is evident as they curl up at her feet, their loyal eyes gazing up at their cherished mistress. The rolling hills of Evershot in Dorset, their family home, provide the picturesque backdrop for this idyllic scene. Lady Stavordale's love for the countryside is further evidenced by her horse, White Sox, who stands proudly in the background, and her golf clubs, which lie nearby, a testament to her passion for the sport. The upper echelons of society were graced by the presence of Lady Stavordale, who was known for her impeccable style and grace. Her close friends, including the renowned author Dame Ursula Bloomsy Powys, Lady Lybbe Seymour, and Lady Strangways, were a constant source of support and companionship. This montage photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman, whose love for her family, animals, and the countryside endured through the trials and joys of life. It serves as a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures and treasured moments that make life worth living.
