Jane Stuart-Wortley or Jane Thompson; Jane Lawley (5 December 1820 – 4 February 1900) was an English philanthropist. She was described as the best horsewoman as well as the most accomplished conversationalist of her day. Lord Cardigan, returned from the Crimea, said he never missed the morning parade at Rotten Row, his reason "Why to see that lady with the perfect figure, who manages her white Arab like a daughter of the desert."[1]
