Veronica Paget (8 Oct 1922 – 7 February 2017 (aged 94)), married (1) Jocelyn Eustace Gurney, (2) Charles Farrell The Marquess died in London, aged 61, following an operation. Residences Until World War I, the 6th Marquess of Anglesey mainly lived at Beaudesert, the Paget family estate and stately home on the southern edge of Cannock Chase in Staffordshire. Heavy taxation after the war (combined with the considerable debts resulting from the extravagant lifestyle of the 5th Marquess) meant that the 6th Marquess could no longer afford to maintain the property at Beaudesert, so in 1920 he left to live at Plas Newydd. The Beaudesert estate was broken up and sold off, with the Marquess donating 120 acres of land to the Cannock Chase District in 1920, and a further gift in 1938 was made to the people of Staffordshire. At Plas Newydd, the 6th Marquess commissioned the artist Rex Whistler to undertake a decorative mural scheme. The trompe-l'œil paintings and murals and a permanent exhibition of Whistler memorabilia are now one of the major attractions at the property. Gallery Honours In 1912 He was awarded the Freedom of the County Borough of Stoke-on-Trent.
