11th Countess Coventry Croome Deerhurst Donne Estate Maria Philips 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment of joy and innocence at the family estate of Croome Court, captured in the summer of 1936. Lady Coventry, formerly Nesta Donne Philips, is seen here with her two youngest children, Lady Maria Coventry (b. 1931) and Lord Deerhurst, George William Coventry (b. 1934). The serene atmosphere of the estate is evident in the lush greenery and the warm sunlight filtering through the trees. Lady Coventry's children were the offspring of her first marriage to the Hon. John Philipps, later the 1st Baron Milford Haven. However, tragedy struck the family when her husband was killed in action while serving with the Worcester Regiment in France in July 1940, leaving Lady Coventry a young widow with three young children. At the tender age of six, Lord Deerhurst succeeded his grandfather as the 11th Earl of Coventry, making him one of the youngest earls in British history. Despite the hardships that followed, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a simpler time, before the shadows of war loomed over their lives. The children's laughter and playfulness are a testament to their resilience and the enduring strength of the human spirit. This image is a precious piece of history, a glimpse into the past, and a reminder of the rich tapestry of stories that make up the history of Croome Court and the Coventry family.
