About Vera Annie Vera Violet Herschell

The only sister of the family, Vera, married Lord Herschell in 1919. The wedding took place at Brough Lodge, with the Earl of Zetland anchored off the island decked in bunting. Lord Herschell was Lord in Waiting to the King, and was present at the coronations of Edward VII and George V. Lord and Lady Herschell took a house in the Isle of Wight for a few summers in the 1920s, which they called Fetlar House, and where they received regular visits from Queen Mary during Cowes Week. Their son, who had inherited the title, was a founder member of Brough Lodge Trust and an indefatiguable source of encouragement until his death in 2008
