Description
Wedding of Venetia Stanley
Details
The Hon. Venetia Stanley (1887 - 1948), youngest daughter of Lord and Lady Sheffield on her way to her wedding to the Hon. Edwin Samuel Montagu, Financial Secretary to the Treasury under Prime Minister Herbert Asquith. Asquith was also close to Venetia, and wrote frequently to her, on not just a personal level, but also to seek her advice on political matters. Venetia converted to Judaism for her marriage - causing much interest in the press - and The Sketch magazine describes the wedding as 'very quiet indeed owing to the war.' After the wedding was celebrated, according to Jewish ritual, at the house of the bridegroom's brother, Lord Swaythling at 28 Kensington Court on 26 July 1915, there was a small luncheon party but no formal reception.
