Bather was the fourth daughter, by his second marriage, of Charles Blomfield, Bishop of London.
Her education, like that of her brothers and sisters, was watched, and to some extent conducted, by their father, and she learned something of the classical languages.
She died at The Hall, Meole Brace, near Shrewsbury, after a very short illness, on 5 September 1864.
She possessed the happy faculty of interesting the young by apt and attractive instruction, and wrote a number of stories for juvenile readers, and a volume entitled Footprints on the Sands of Time.
The Introduction, addressed to 'My dear Young Friends', is subscribed 'Aunt Lucy', the pseudonym by which the author was best known.
