Lady Emily Foley (23 June 1805 – 1 January 1900) was a major landowner and benefactress in nineteenth-century England.
She placed many restrictions on building in the town, ensuring that all houses were well spaced, had large gardens, and maintained many trees.
[3] When a railway line was to be built from Malvern to Hereford across land she owned, she insisted that cuttings be excavated so that the unsightly trains could not be seen.
[4] She left no children and her husband's will made Lady Emily free to dispose the Stoke Edith estate in Herefordshire and extensive lands to whomever she chose but instead she allowed it to pass to her husband's great-nephew Paul Henry Foley of Prestwood, Staffordshire.
