In the heart of Coventry, England, once resided Major General Lord Cheylesmore, a distinguished military figure of the late 19th century. Nearby, at CV3 5 Map, stood his historic estate, a testament to his noble lineage. In 1902, a new Lady Cheylesmore emerged, the daughter of Mr. Francis French from New York, gracing the social scene with her elegance and charm. Her portrait, painted by Coide in silk, hangs proudly in the family home. Lord Cheylesmore, known for his wit and intelligence, was once satirized in Vanity Fair by Henry William Eaton, while his daughter, Lady Cheylesmore, presented prizes with grace and poise at CV1 2 Map. The legacy of Lord and Lady Cheylesmore continues to intrigue, their stories intertwined in the rich tapestry of Coventry's history.
