FUNERAL OF LADY LANERTON,
On Tuesday afternoon, at Woolbeding, were interred the remains of Diana Harriet Louisa, Baroness Lanerton, who died on Thursday of last week after a long period of suffering. The funeral was fixed for 12.30, and shortly after the appointed time the cortége left the house. The coffin was borne by eight of the men employed on the estate, uniformly attired in slate coloured smocks, and immediately behind came the mourners in the following order: — Colonel and Mrs. Lascelles, Master Edward Charles Ponsonby Lascelles, Earl of Carlisle, Lady Poussa, Admiral Egerton, Lady Edward Carlisle, Mrs. Temp!e. the Hon. Mrs. Lascelles, Miss Campbell, Major Campbell, Lord Halifax, Mr. Wood, the Rev. Norman O'Gilvy, Mrs. Norman O'Gllvy, the Hon. Charles Gore, Miss Ellis, the Rev. Agar Ellis, the Hon. Maurice Ponsonby, Mr. Fraucis Bourdillon, the Rev. Gerald Maxwell, Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Gore, the Rev. Charles Gore, Mr., Tanner, Mr. Duthie (bailiff, Castle Howard), and the household servants. The coffin was met at the Church by the Rev. Prebendary Stevens (Rector of Woolbeding), the Rev. Mr. Bourdillon, and the Rev. H. G. Billinghurst (Rector of Linch). The pretty little Church was all too small to accommodate the people, other than the mourners, anxious to pay the last sad token of respect to the deceased, and a large number stood in the porch and just outside, Among those present in Church were the Earl of Egmont, Colonel Watson, the Rev. B. M. Campbell (Vicar of Midhurst), Mr. H. Broadwood, General Mallens, Mr. K. Fisher (Hill Top), Mr E. Cooper-Smith (Hollist), Mr. C. Eastwick Field, Lady Lanerton's medical attendant, and Mr. Alec Scrimgeour, The Rev. Mr. Bourdillon conducted the service in Church, where hymn 428 (Church Hymns) "The Saints of God their conflict past" was sung. The choir was in attendance, and Mrs. Stevens presided at the organ; and as the coffin was borne to the grave, she played Beethoven's Funeral March. At the graveside the service was read by the Rev. Prebendary Stevens, and Hymn 140, "Jesus lives," was sung. There is no family vault for the Lanertons at Woolbeding, and the remains of Lady Lanerton were interred in the grave in which are deposited the remains of her husband, Lord Lanerton. It was beautifully lined with moss, decorated with ivy and flowers. The coffin was of polished oak and brass furniture, and on the plate was the following inscription
DIANA HARRIET LOUISA

Died 2nd November, 1893,
The wreaths were many and beautiful, and were contributed by the following, in addition to which many were sent without cards attached to them ... [Southern Weekly News - Saturday 11 November 1893, p.13]
