Her husband was the 7th Marquis of Chomley, David Chomley.
David Chomley is a descendant of the Sassoon family, not only rich in assets, but also in the mansion Horton Manor.
It is one of the UK's most staggering mansions, with 106 rooms, and attracts thousands of visitors every year to admire its architecture.

The Sassoons are an internationally renowned family of Iraqi Jewish ancestry and were once one of the richest families in the world.
In the 19th century, the family amassed a fortune by trading in textiles, tea and opium in India and China, and became known as the "Rothschilds of the East".
During the reign of the Qing Dynasty, this family had a large business in China.

In particular, this folding gold leaf screen, on which a map of Chinese landscapes is drawn, and the color scheme is exclusive to the royal family at that time, which is priceless.
There is also this Shuanglong black lacquer cabinet, which was also an object in the Old Summer Palace.
In short, don't have too many familiar items...
So are these things legally purchased, or are they obtained through other means?
You know, at the height of the Sassoon family's opium business, millions of precious artifacts were plundered by British and French soldiers.
"Apparently, the Marquis de Chomli inherited these controversial works from the Sassoons, who acquired them by plundering them during the opium trade during the Qing Dynasty.
Now, Chinese netizens noticed them in the background of the photo shoot in Horton Hall. ”

"For Chinese netizens, this is a huge disservice. These cultural relics not only represent the history and culture of our nation, but also the wisdom and hard work of our ancestors, but they are flaunted as trophies. ”

Now, TikTok user @FabulousCathy has more than 600,000 views on this video, and the popularity is rising.
"I hope they can be retrieved and returned to their rightful place"
"So how exactly they got it, does anyone know?"
On the other hand, Chinese netizens are also concerned about this matter.
To this, a spokesperson for Horton Manor responded: "The Chinese items in the photo you mentioned were purchased by the Walpole family, the original owners of Horton Manor, in the mid-Qing Dynasty in the 18th century, and most of them were purchased through agents, not directly in China." ”
The estate said that although the current Marquis David is a descendant of the Sassoon family, these items are not heirlooms inherited by his family.
