Description: Elizabeth Grey, née Lady Elizabeth Talbot, Countess of Kent (1582û1651) was the sister of two other countesses: Mary Talbot Herbert, Countess of Pembroke (see image DCHQ200127) and Alethea, Countess of Arudel (see image DCHQ200222).
This image is one of a collection by the famous local antiquarian, Thomas Bateman, of Middleton by Youlgreave. (1821-1861). Bateman organized his collection by inserting them into a 4 volume copy of Lysons Magna Britannia, Derbyshire, creating a fascinating and unique illustrated record of the county. The purchase of the collection for Derbyshire Libraries was made possible by the generous bequest of Miss Frances Webb of Whaley Bridge, well known local historian, who died in December 2006.
