Louisa, Lady Ashburton was the widow of William Baring Bingham, 2nd Baron Ashburton
According to this website:
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=45926
Widowed, with a young daughter, Lady Ashburton was rich, independent-minded and intensely interested in art, especially painting and sculpture. She was at the centre of a wide circle of artistic and literary figures, and numbered among her friends Thomas Carlyle, the painters G. F. Watts and Edward Lear, Sir Coutts Lindsay, the art connoisseur, and John Forster, the biographer of Dickens.
