164 Wilts Obituary. 



Penelope Frances Murray, died Oct. 4tli, 1910, at Bath. Buried 



at Southfleet, Kent. Daughter of Brigadier-General John Austin^ 

 K.C.T.S., she married, 1848, Rev. George Edward Murray, Rector of 

 Southfleet, Kent, and after his death, in 1854, she came to Calne and 

 lived at Castle House, removing after many years to The Highlands^ 

 and finally some five years ago, to Bath. She was a constant and most 

 generous supporter of all religious and charitable organizations con- 

 nected with the Church in Calne. The reredos in the Parish Church, 

 erected at a cost of £600, was her gift. St. Mary's School for Girls, 

 established in 1873 in order to provide a secondary education on Church 

 of England lines, was one of the greatest interests of her life, and she 

 was one of its chief founders, and most regular and generous supporters. 

 Much beloved and greatly respected in Calne.

Iiady JDlIeuX, widow of Sir Henry Meux, 3rd and last baronet, died 

 Dec. 20th, 1910. Buried at Cheshunt Parish Church. Married as 

 Miss Valerie Susie Langdon in 1878 to Sir Henry Meux, who, on his 

 death, childless, on January 11th, 1900, left her the whole of his 

 property. She thus became one of the richest women in England. Her 

 very extensive estates in Wiltshire, with the exception of Dauntsey 

 House, and some other property, were sold a few years ago, and she 

 had lived of late years, at Theobalds House, Herts, where she had 

 collected a considerable museum of Egyptian antiquities. She was much 

 interested in racing, and bred the Derby winner, Volodyovski, of 1901 ; 

 running horses herself under the name of " Mr. Theobalds." During 

 the South African War she presented a battery to the nation at a cost 

 of perhaps £20,000. By her will she left her collection of 1800 Egyptian 

 and Assyrian antiquities to the British Museum, on condition that it 

 should be kept together in a suitable position, whilst Whistler's "Sable 

 Picture of Lady Meux " was to go to the National Gallery, " if it can 

 be found " (it never was finished). Her Abyssinian MSS., looted from 

 that country during the Abyssinian Expedition of 1868, were bequeathed 

 to the Emperor Menelek or his successor. The British Museum declined 

 the bequest of the Egyptian Collection under the conditions attached 

 to it, and it has since been sold by auction.
