Anne Catherine, Countess of Antrim

Anne Catherine McDonnell was Countess of Antrim in her own right, inheriting the title and estates on the death of her father in 1791. She first married Sir Henry Vane-Tempest of Wynyard Hall in Yorkshire but secondly, contrived a love match with Edmund Phelps, the son of a hatter and an auctioneer. She was largely responsible for the establishment of the 4 acre Walled Garden at Glenarm Castle in the 1820s.
