Mary Mildmay Fane, Countess of Westmorland

Mary built an imposing monument to her parents at Apethorpe Church in 1621, the sculpture attributed to Maximilian Colt.

[2] Mary Mildmay Fane collated and transcribed her mother's medical works,[3] a bequest of over 2,000 sheets of paper.

Mary later passed this blessing to her newly married daughter Grace, Countess of Home, in a letter of January 1627.

[10] On December 1635 she wrote to Secretary Windebank thanking him for royal letters sent in her favour and asking him to prevent the king taking the side of her adversary, the Countess of Home, who was then in London.

I think it not so shameful for women of England to wish well to the peace of these nations, whether it be by word or writing; yet I pray you, when you read this letter, to burn it, that it might not rise up in any body's judgement but yours, against me, to tax my zeal with ignorance, who would willingly sacrifice my own life to the quenching of this fire.
