Anne Chamber (married name Anna Grenville-Temple, Countess Temple) (died 7 April 1777) was an English noblewoman and poet.
Life
[edit | edit source]Chamber and her elder sister Mary were co-heiresses to their late parents' estate. On 7 May 1737, Chamber married Richard Grenville-Temple, 2nd Earl Temple.[1] In 1742, their only child, Elizabeth, died at age four. The couple reportedly had a large income. Anne's dowry was reportedly £50,000, and Richard was erroneously referred to as the richest man in England.[2]
Chamber is known for her poetry, which she took up as an adult. Horace Walpole's company published 100 of her poems in 1764 under the name "Poems" by "Anna Chamber".[3]
Chamber died in Stowe in Buckinghamshire in 1777 just after her 40th wedding anniversary.[1]
In 1818, the verses she had sent to Lady Charles Spencer were published.[4]
