Possibly Elizabeth Freke, Lady Brownlow (1634-1684)
attributed to Henry Anderton (fl. c.1630 after 1665).
Oil painting on canvas, Possibly Elizabeth Freke, Lady Brownlow (1634-1684), attributed to Henry Anderton (fl.c.1630- after 1665). A three-quarter length portrait of a young woman, seated, leaning her left arm on a table and resting her cheek on her left hand, dark hair with a ringlet falling on her right shoulder wearing a white satin dress and blue wrap. She was the daughter of John Freke, MP of Iwerne Courtney and Cerne Abbas, Dorset (it was Johns 3rd son, and by his 2nd marriage, Thomas I Freke, MP (c.1638-1701), who owned Shroton, where 'Young' Sir John Brownlow, 3rd Bt, (1659-1697) was to commit suicide) and his second wife, that soe noble and accomplished Lady, Jane Shurley, daughter and coheiress of Sir John Shurley, of Isfield, Sussex. Married to Sir Richard Brownlow, 2nd Bt (1628-1668) in 1652, to whom she bore three sons and seven daughters, of whom only Young Sir John Brownlow (1659-1697) and Sir William Brownlow (1665-1702) survived her. She and her husband lived at Ringston Hall, which (now vanished) was presumably near Old Somerby (not to be confused with Tennysons natal Somersby), hence the monuments (attributed in The Buildings of England: Lincolnshire to William Stanton) in the church there, to their eldest daughter, Jane Brownlow, who died at the age of 16 in 1670, and to herself, put up by her two surviving sons. Left in great debt by her husband, she had to contest an attempt by Old Sir John Brownlow (1594-1679), his uncle, to remove his son and heir, Young Sir John, from her care. The inscription on her monument describes her as: Weary of longer walking in the Wilderness of this World [in the] 51 year of her early Autumne, Piously and Peaceably her alas! Too short but well past Pilgrimage [was ended].
