Bapsybanoo Pavry

Bapsybanoo ("Bapsy") Paulet, Marchioness of Winchester, née Pavry (1902 – 6 September 1995), was an Indian socialite and aristocrat.

(After a brief engagement, Eve Fleming had refused to marry the Marquess because on remarriage she would have lost the substantial allowance granted in her late husband's will).

[citation needed] After the death of her brother Jal in 1985, the Marchioness returned to India and lived out the rest of her life there, dying in 1995.

[14] Despite living in England for most of her adult life, she only visited Winchester once, immediately after her marriage in 1952, but felt snubbed as few people welcomed her, and never returned.

Finally, in June 2009, a room in the Guildhall was refurbished and renamed after her with a huge portrait of her in her state robes by Frank Salisbury taking pride of place.
