LifeAnne Master was the daughter of Streynsham Master of Codnor Castle in Derbyshire.[1] In 1719 her new husband died. He was Gilbert Coventry, 4th Earl of Coventry and had been paid a large dowry with the stipulation that Anne would have a £500 widow's pension if he should die. In order to receive her inheritance she had to sue William Coventry, 5th Earl of Coventry. She won this case on 18 May 1724. She married Edmund Pytts and died as his widow in Holt Castle in 1788 aged 96. She was buried with her husband in Holt, Worcestershire.[1] References1. ^1 Matthew Kilburn, ‘Coventry , Anne, countess of Coventry (1691–1788)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 accessed 28 Nov 2014 {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Coventry, Anne Coventry, Countess of}}{{England-bio-stub}} 3 : 1691 births|1788 deaths|English countesses |
