Pamela Wyndham

Pamela Adelaide Genevieve Grey, Viscountess Grey of Fallodon (born Wyndham; later Pamela Tennant, Baroness Glenconner; 14 January 1871 – 18 November 1928), was an English writer. The wife of Edward Tennant, 1st Baron Glenconner, and later of Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Grey of Fallodon, she is one of the Wyndham Sisters painted by John Singer Sargent, who were at the centre of the cultural and political life of their time. Like their parents, they were part of The Souls. Early life Wyndham was born on 14 January 1871 at Clouds House in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. She was the daughter of Hon. Percy Wyndham (1835–1911) and Madeline Caroline Frances Eden Campbell. Her mother was the daughter of Sir Guy Campbell, 1st Baronet, and his wife Pamela FitzGerald, daughter of Lord Edward FitzGerald and Pamela Syms. Her father was the son of George Wyndham, 1st Baron Leconfield, and his wife Mary Fanny Blunt, the daughter of Rev. William Blunt. The 1899 portrait of Pamela and her sisters (Mary, wife of the 11th Earl of Wemyss, and Madeline, wife of Charles Adeane, the Lord Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire) by John Singer Sargent, known as the Wyndham sisters, has been described as "the greatest picture of modern times" by The Times. Career In 1919, Wyndham published the successful memoirs of her son Edward Tennant, who had been killed during World War I. She also published poems, prose, children's literature, and edited poetry and prose anthologies.
