Edward Heneage Dering

He is largely remembered today as a member of "The Quartet"[2] at Baddesley Clinton, with marriages to two artistic women.

[3] He was the younger son of Cholmeley Edward John Dering, rector of Pluckley, Kent, and prebendary of St Paul's Cathedral.

Dering converted to Catholicism in 1865[7] From 1869, the couple lived at Baddesley Clinton with Georgiana's niece Rebecca Dulcibella Orpen and her husband Marmion Edward Ferrers.

[2] Lady Georgiana became a Catholic convert in 1875, according to John Sutherland under the influence of her husband's view of Catholicism in Sherborne, published that year.

[2] Dering died at Baddesley Clinton in 1892 and much of his personal library, along with those of his wives, remains in the house today.
