Priscilla Fane, Countess of Westmorland

Priscilla Anne Fane (née Wellesley-Pole), Countess of Westmorland (1793 – 18 February 1879), styled Lady Burghersh between 1811 and 1841, was a British linguist and artist.

Priscilla Anne Wellesley-Pole was the fourth child of the Honourable William Wellesley-Pole, later first Baron Maryborough and third Earl of Mornington, by Katharine Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Admiral the Honourable John Forbes.

Priscilla was a great favourite with her uncle, who had a high opinion of her political judgement, as did Lord Melbourne who used her as intermediary when discussing with Wellington the possible formation of a coalition Government in 1837.

Her daughter, Lady Rose Weigall, edited two volumes of selections from her correspondence.
