Anne was the eldest daughter of three sisters and two brothers of John Rushout, 1st Baron Northwick and his wife Rebecca (née Bowles), in Gloucestershire (or as it was known at that time, Worcestershire).

George Bowles, whose family's prosperity came initially from a glass-making business, also left an interest in Burford House, Shropshire, to Anne's brother, the Rev.

Rushout's watercolors included views of Northwick Park and other properties held by her immediate and extended family and those she visited on her extensive travels.

[4] The Senate House Library, University of London, holds 19 volumes of a journal that appears to have been written between 1828 and 1852, most in the handwriting of Anne Rushout or members of her immediate family.

The volumes were bought by a dealer at the sale of the Northwick Park estate in 1965 and were sold to the University of London Library the next year.
