The Honourable Violet Mary Vivian, daughter of Hussey Crespigny Vivian, 3rd Baron Vivian of Glynn and of Truro, was Maid of Honour to Queen Alexandra. She created a much-admired garden at Cestyll, near Camaes, Anglesey, North Wales. She was awarded the MBE in 1945 and died unmarried on 5 June 1962. Interestingly, the Hon. Vivian had a twin sister, Dorothy Maud Vivian (1879-1939), who also served as a Maid of Honour first to Queen Victoria from 1899 and then to Queen Alexandra until 1905, when she married the 1st Earl Haig.
