Lady Mary Ashley Cooper in Jacobean costume Lady Mary Ashley-Cooper (1902-1936)

Lady Mary Ashley-Cooper (1902-1936), later Lady Alington, eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury. Pictured in the costume she wore at the Hatfield Pageant, in which she appeared as the Princess Elizabeth, the daughter of James I, afterwards Queen of Bohemia. Described as tall and sturdily built, she was, according to The Times, the best swimmer in Mayfair and won countless titles at the Bath Club. She married Lord Alington in 1928 and had one daughter born the following year. She was a familiar figure on the social scene, distinctive because of her hair, which was shoulder length (unusual for the 1930s). Tragically, on 2 August 1936, Lady Alington died while undergoing an operation for acute appendicitis. Date: 1924

Lady Mary Ashley-Cooper, later Lady Alington (1902-1936), is depicted in this evocative photograph from 1924, wearing an exquisite Jacobean costume as she appeared at the Hatfield Pageant. As the Princess Elizabeth, the daughter of James I, she portrayed the future Queen of Bohemia with grace and poise. Known for her striking tall stature and sturdy build, Lady Mary was an accomplished swimmer, holding numerous titles at the prestigious Bath Club. Her distinctive shoulder-length hair, an unusual length for the 1920s and 1930s, further set her apart from her contemporaries. 3. In 1928, Lady Mary married Lord Alington and gave birth to their daughter the following year. A well-known figure on the social scene, she was admired for her regal presence and captivating beauty.

This photograph, taken during the height of the Jazz Age, encapsulates the allure of historical pageants and the elegance of the era. It serves as a poignant reminder of Lady Mary Ashley-Cooper's life, her enduring legacy, and her captivating presence in both historical and social contexts. 5.

This image offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of the past, transporting us to a time when the line between history and society blurred, and the enchantment of the past intertwined with the vibrancy of the present.
