Anne Catherine Sybil LindsayAnne Catherine Sybil Lindsay (? - 1936) was the daughter of Alexander William Crawford Lindsay, 25th Earl of Crawford and Margaret Lindsay. Anne Catherine Sybil Lindsay married the Honorable Francis Bowes-Lyon (1856-1948), November 22, 1883. Anne Lindsay and Francis Bowes-Lyon, at some point in their life, made their home at Ridley Hall. This fine country house is set
on a thirty-three acre estate, located at Bardon Mill, near Hexham, in the heart
of rural Northumberland. The original Ridley Hall was built in 1567 but later burned and was replaced by a Georgian country house in 1743. In 1876 John Bowes, the founder of Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle, inherited the house. Thus, Ridley Hall passed to the Bowes-Lyon family (family of the Queen Mother) in 1891 when it was rebuilt in the popular neo-Tudor style. Ridley Hall currently provides a venue as a boarding wing for Haydon Bridge High School and as a conference center during school holidays. Ridley Hall is also an ideal location from which one could plan a day excursion to Hadrian’s Wall. This biographical sketch of Anne Catherine Sybil Lindsay is still being researched and will be expanded at a future date.
