Anne Clifford died in 1676, full of years and honours. This is the impressive portrait of a powerful personality. She lives on, in Martin Holmes' remarkable biography, in Craven, where she was born; in Kent, where she was mistress of Knole; in Wiltshire, where she saw the rebuilding of Wilton under Inigo Jones; and, most of all, in Westmorland where, in her several ancestral castles, she spent her indomitable old age.
