Cowdrey Anne

British racehorse trainer and peeress. Lady Herries was the eldest of the four daughters of Bernard Fitzalan-Howard, 16th Duke of Norfolk (who was also the 13th Lord Herries of Terregles) and his wife, Lavinia Fitzalan-Howard, Duchess of Norfolk (formerly The Hon Lavinia Strutt). Upon the death of her father in 1975 without a son, Lady Anne Fitzalan-Howard (as she then was) as the eldest daughter inherited the Herries of Terregles title, a Scottish Lordship of Parliament, and became the 14th Lady Herries of Terregles. Herries operated as a racehorse trainer for over thirty years from the Angmering Park estate, on the South Downs, near Arundel, Sussex. In 1985, Herries married England cricketer Colin Cowdrey, by which marriage she was also Baroness Cowdrey of Tonbridge following Cowdreys ennoblement in 1997, though that style was not used due to Harries being a peer in her own right. Their union was happy, but childless and the couple remained married until Cowdreys death in 2000. Herries died on 23 November 2014, aged 76, from pneumonia. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
