Timeline

1911

Lady Mary Faith Culme-Seymour, formerly Lady Mary Faith Nesbitt, (née Montagu; 1 November 1911 – 16 February 1983) was a British aristocrat and letter writer.

The daughter of George Montagu, 9th Earl of Sandwich and Alberta Montagu, Countess of Sandwich, she grew up at the family's ancestral seat, Hinchingbrooke House in Huntingdon.

Mary Faith Montagu was born on 1 November 1911 to George Montagu, a Conservative politician and former Member of Parliament, and his American wife, the heiress Alberta Sturges.

The third of four children, she was a younger sister of Victor Montagu and William Drogo Sturges Montagu and an older sister of Elizabeth Montagu.

Her paternal grandfather, Rear Admiral The Honourable Victor Montagu, was an officer in the Royal Navy, a godson of Queen Victoria, and the younger son of John Montagu, 7th Earl of Sandwich.

On her mother's side, Lady Faith was a grandniece of the American spiritualist Josephine MacLeod and a descendant of U.S. Congressman and judge Jonathan Sturges.

Her mother, who was American, was of Scottish and English descent.

At the time of her birth, her uncle Edward was the Earl of Sandwich.

1916

In 1916, her father succeeded his brother as the 9th Earl of Sandwich and moved the family into Hinchingbrooke House, the Montagu family's ancestral seat.

At the time of her father's elevation to the peerage, she became entitled to the courtesy title The Lady Mary Faith Montagu as the daughter of an earl.

1925

In 1925, when she was fourteen years old, she crossed the Atlantic on the liner SS Minnekahda (1917) with her grandmother Betty Leggett and two cousins.

When they arrived in New York, she was delayed by US immigration inspectors who wanted to send her to Ellis Island to be deported.

At the beginning of World War II, Lady Faith fell in love with an American airman.

Upon her marriage, she moved into Rockingham Castle, a 5,000-acre estate that her husband inherited in 1925 from his grandmother, Mary Georgiana Watson.

As châtelaine of Rockingham Castle, Lady Faith oversaw renovations and redecorating the rooms, closing the old kitchen, and creating a private flat for the family within the castle.

1938

In 1938, Lady Faith married an American, Philip Booth Nesbitt, and had a daughter, Caroline Gemma Nesbitt.

The family lived in California.

They had two children together: Micael Culme-Seymour and Francis Michael Culme-Seymour.

Both of their sons died in infancy.

Sir Michael adopted Lady Faith's daughter from her first marriage.

When her brother, Victor Montagu, 10th Earl of Sandwich, sold the family home in 1955, Lady Faith took her close friend, the novelist E. M. Forster, to see it one last time.

She and Forster, who initially offered her advice on short story writing, remained friends until his death.

Through her second marriage, to Sir Michael Culme-Seymour, 5th Baronet, Lady Faith was the châtelaine of Rockingham Castle in Northamptonshire, where she oversaw renovations and the redecorating of the house.

She wrote in a letter about her brother's decision to sell the family home in 1955, and after it was boarded up, took Forster there to see it, as had spent some of his youth there with her father.

In her letter and diary, she writes about the heartbreak of the family losing their ancestral home.

1967
