She grew up in Gloucestershire at Toddington Manor, near Tewkesbury.

She cultivated a wide circle of similar-minded friends and began writing seriously at age 14.As an adult, she had some success with poems, newspaper columns, short stories, one play and several novels.
She had a special "den" in her home where she would sit and read or write.
Sometimes in London she would go to Clifford's Inn, where she had a small personal office.
She wrote a play, Bon Secours, in 1903.
She may have written another play, Old Clothes, mentioned in a collectors' item manuscript - a letter written in March 1904 by Thomas Anstey Guthrie (1856–1934), who is also known as F.
