Memorial service
On Sunday 25th September a special service was held to celebrate the life of Georgiana, the 4th Duchess of Newcastle (29th June 1789 – 26th September 1822). This was a poignant service with incidental music, hymns, a short talk about Georgiana’s life, poetry and quotes by Dr Richard Gaunt from the 4th Duke’s diaries. Milton Mausoleum was built in her honour.
A specially recorded reading of the 23rd Psalm from America by the Lady Patricia Pelham-Clinton-Hope, daughter of the 9th Duke and great, great, great granddaughter of Georgiana was a feature of the service. It was followed by tea and cakes which was enjoyed by all.
