A Fashionable Wedding: Lord Wolverton and Lady Edith Ward, 1895. 'The year has begun brilliantly, in a social sense, with the marriage of Lord Wolverton and Lady Edith Ward. The ceremony [was held] at St. Mary Abbott's Church, Kensington...The bridegroom, Frederick Glyn, fourth Baron Wolverton, is thirty years of age, and succeeded his brother in the peerage six years ago...Lord Wolverton is Deputy-Lieutenant for the county of Dorset, where he has a charming country seat, Iwerne Manor, near Blandford. It is at Iwerne that the honeymoon is being spent. The bridegroom has been for a short time Lord-in-Waiting to the Queen. Lady Edith Ward is the only daughter of the first Earl of Dudley by his second wife, Georgina, Countess of Dudley, whose beauty has been in no small measure transferred to Lord Wolverton's bride. She is twenty-two years of age, and has six brothers, the eldest of whom is the present Earl of Dudley...Mr. Cecil Grenfell was the bridegroom's best man. The officiating clergymen were the Rev. the Hon. Edward Carr Glyn, Vicar of Kensington and Chaplain-in-Ordinary to the Queen, and the Rev. Piers L. Claughton, Rector of Hutton, Brentwood. The first-named is uncle of Lord Wolverton, and Mr. Claughton is cousin of the bride'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
