Enid Scudamore-Stanhope, Countess of Chesterfield

Enid Edith Scudamore-Stanhope, Countess of Chesterfield (10 September 1878 – 30 November 1957) was a British heiress and racehorse breeder.

Born at Marske Hall in Yorkshire, she was the fourth child of Charles Wilson, 1st Baron Nunburnholme, and Florence Wellesley, daughter of Col. William Wellesley and great-niece to Arthur, Duke of Wellington.

[1][2] They lived at Beningbrough Hall in Yorkshire, a property which her mother bought for the couple as a belated wedding present.

In the early 1920s Lady Chesterfield set up a stud farm at Beningbrough Hall and bred thoroughbred racehorses, one of which called Sun Castle won the 1941 St Leger Stakes.

The couple had no children and Beningbrough was then acquired by the National Trust in lieu of death duties.
