Elizabeth Harington

Three of Elizabeth's letters to her sister Mabel Noel are preserved, attesting to the literary culture of their childhood home.

[3] Her aunt, Frances, Countess of Sussex, bequeathed her a gown of black velvet embroidered with broken trees, and left her husband Edward a suite of tapestry depicting the story of Judith and Holofernes.

[8] She gave a velvet cabinet with a purse of gold coins in one of its drawers or "boxes" to Theodosia's daughter, Margaret Dudley Hobart.

She gave Anne, Lady Harington a silver "posnet" dish and cover which had belonged to Mary, Queen of Scots.

[9] Mary, Queen of Scots, owned a silver posnet, which she used for "bouillon" or broth at Wingfield Manor.
