(1850-1902)
Philanthropist Annie was first married to Charles Mather, who bequeathed her a modest fortune and Longridge Towers in Berwick (now a private school). Her second husband Sir Hubert Jerningham was Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament for Berwick (1881-1885) Annie’s health began to suffer while living in Trinidad and Tobago as her second husband was colonial governor there between 1897 and 1900. Upton returning to the UK she never fully recovered and died in 1902 aged 52.
Hubert designed this memorial to her with the help of sculptor Walter Rowlands Ingram who died soon after in 1903. The statue was unveiled in 1908. The Berwick site was chosen where, at certain times of year, it could just about be seen from the Longridge Towers, four kilometres to the south west.
I find little other information on Annie, but a quick online search reveals an Rowlands Ingram bust of Annie for sale around the £5k mark on a certain auction site. 100% positive reviews apparently.
