- Judith Anne Dorothea Blunt-Lytton, 16th Baroness Wentworth, also known as Lady Wentworth, was born in London to a famous family. She was the only surviving child of poet Wilfrid Scawen Blunt and his wife, Lady Anne Blunt, daughter of the renowned mathematician Ada Byron King, Countess of Lovelace, through whom she inherited her title. Her maternal great-grandparents were Lord Byron and Annabella Milbanke, 11th Baroness Wentworth. Judith spent most of her childhood in Egypt and other parts of the Middle East as her parents travelled looking or Arabian horses to buy for their Crabbet Arabian Stud in England and their Sheykh Obeyd stud in Egypt. She learned to speak spoke both Arabic and Turkish fluently.
In 1899, she married Neville Stephen Lytton, with whom she would have three children and live in a house in the grounds of her parents' estate, Crabbet Park, near Crawley, Sussex. The marriage was unhappy and the couple divorced in 1923, although she legally changed her surname to Blunt-Lytton in 1904. Lady Wentworth never remarried, and focused on managing Crabbet Park until her death.
Besides horses, she bred English Toy Spaniels (or King Charles Spaniels), and was the author of an authoritative work, Toy Dogs and their Ancestors, published in 1911. Other works included Love in a Mist (1913),
Thoroughbred Racing Stock and its Ancestors (1938),
and several volumes of poetry, including War Nonsense (1943).
