Bridget Talbot 1885 - 1971

Bridget Talbot was born and brought up in Little Gaddesden, the niece of Lord Brownlow. Throughout her life she had connections and links with Edlesborough.  When she died her ashes were scattered, at her request, 'over the little stream off the grass road between Edlesborough and Ivinghoe, in view of the nine miles stretch of wood and country, and a stone put up. ..... To say that I saved them for the National Trust.' In due course this memorial bench was put up by her Trustees to mark the spot.
