'''Lady Ottoline Violet Anne Morrell''' ({{nee|'''Cavendish-Bentinck'''}}; 16 June 1873 – 21 April 1938) was an English aristocrat and society hostess. Her circle of friends included many authors, artists, sculptors and poets.<ref name="ReferenceB"/> She was a member of the Bloomsbury Group and an important contributor to the Contemporary Art Society, and her patronage was enduring and influential.
== Early life == Born Ottoline Violet Anne Cavendish-Bentinck, she was the only daughter of Lieutenant-General Arthur Cavendish-Bentinck (son of Lord and Lady Charles Bentinck) and his second wife, Augusta Browne, Baroness Bolsover. She had three half-brothers from her father's first marriage.<ref name="texas">{{cite web |title=Ottoline Morrell |url=https://research.hrc.utexas.edu/fasearch/findingaid.cfm?eadid=00094 |website=research.hrc.utexas.edu |publisher=Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas |access-date=28 April 2026}}</ref> Lady Ottoline's great-great-uncle (through her paternal grandmother, Lady Charles Bentinck) was the 1st Duke of Wellington. Through her father, Arthur, she was a first cousin once removed of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and thus a first cousin twice removed of Queen Elizabeth II, both of whom descended from Arthur's brother Charles Cavendish-Bentinck.<ref>{{alox2|title=Bentinck, Rev. Charles William Cavendish}}</ref><ref name=BP/> Her father had expectations of succeeding his cousin, the fifth Duke of Portland, which were disappointed when Bentinck died before him in 1877. This left the family in straitened financial circumstances until the Duke of Portland settled the succession of the title and an allowance on Ottoline's half-brother William in 1878. The sixth Duke of Portland and his family moved into the family seat at Welbeck Abbey in Nottinghamshire. Ottoline was granted the rank of a daughter of a duke with the courtesy title of "Lady".<ref name=BP>''Burke's Peerage'' (102nd Ed., 1959), p. 1820</ref><ref name="texas"/>
Ottoline was raised largely by a nurse and servants. She had no playmates and was educated by a governess, who taught her to read, write, and memorize Bible verses. When she was 16, the Duke married and Ottoline's mother moved them to a small house in the Surrey village of Chertsey. Ottoline, by now very introverted, lived in isolation with her mother and developed a fanatical interest in religion, wearing drab clothing, fasting, and following the precepts of the Thomas à Kempis book ''The Imitation of Christ''.<ref name="texas"/>
When Ottoline was 19, the Duke impressed on her mother that she should "come out". She fulfilled the duties of the 1892 London season, then returned immediately to the country. Her mother's health was failing; in 1893, they travelled to Italy in hope of improvement but Lady Bolsover died upon their return to England. Ottoline returned to Welbeck, where she gave Bible classes to the servants and farmhands. Her brother sent her on several trips to Europe, where she sought treatments for her migraine headaches and other health problems. In 1899, the Duke sent her to study political economy and Roman history at Somerville College, Oxford, but she did not earn a degree.<ref name="texas"/><ref>[https://spartacus-educational.com/Jmorrell.htm Ottoline Morrell] – Spartacus Educational</ref> At Oxford she met Philip Morrell, who would become a lawyer and a Member of Parliament.<ref>{{Cite newspaper The Times |title=Court circular|date=10 February 1902 |page=6 |issue=36687}}</ref> They shared a passion for art, a strong interest in Liberal politics, and a determination to rebel against the restraints of their conservative families.

Philip's extramarital affairs produced several children, who were cared for by Ottoline. She also struggled to conceal evidence of his mental instability.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> The Morrells themselves had two children (twins): a son, Hugh, who died in infancy, and a daughter, Julian.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
==Hospitality== thumb|Blue plaque, 10 Gower Street, London In 1906, Philip gained a seat in the House of Commons as a Liberal and the Morrells moved to a townhouse in Bloomsbury, at 44 Bedford Square. While entertaining political friends such as Winston Churchill and Herbert Asquith, Ottoline became a member of the Bloomsbury Group and took a keen interest in the careers of young artists, particularly Carrington, Stanley Spencer, Mark Gertler and Gilbert Spencer.<ref>{{openplaque|1089}}</ref> The Morrells owned a country house at Peppard, near Henley on Thames. In 1915, while World War I raged, they sold the Peppard house and bought and restored the nearby old farmhouse Garsington Manor, where Ottoline established her talent for garden design and delighted in opening the house as a haven for like-minded people.
During the war, Garsington was more significant. The Morrells and their friends were ardent pacifists; of Garsington she said, "it seemed good to gather round us young and enthusiastic pacifists."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Morrell |first1=Ottoline |editor1-last=Gathorne-Hardy |editor1-first=Robert |title=Ottoline at Garsington: Memoirs of Lady Ottoline Morrell, 1915-1918|date=1975 |publisher=Alfred A.

The hospitality offered by the Morrells was such that their guests had no suspicion that they were in financial difficulties. Many of them assumed that Ottoline was a wealthy woman. This was far from the case, and in 1928 the Morrells had to sell Garsington and move to more modest quarters in Gower Street, London. Here, Lady Ottoline remained a regular host to the adherents of the Bloomsbury Group, in particular Virginia and Leonard Woolf and Vanessa Bell, and many other artists and authors, including Henry James, W. B. Yeats, L. P. Hartley and T. S. Eliot. [[File:Garsington StMary MorrellMonument1938.JPG|thumb|right|Monument to Lady Ottoline Morrell by Eric Gill in St Mary's Church, Garsington]]
Ottoline maintained her religious faith, but her contemporaries were fixated on the unofficial religion of 'Life Worship', whereby the cultivated elite focused on the development of close personal relations, cultural pursuits, vivid life experiences and the expansion of consciousness. The Garsington/Bloomsbury set believed that there was a spiritual hierarchy, with the artistic elite at one end and the "moronic masses" at the other. Among Lady Ottoline's friends, this belief was held particularly strongly by Lawrence, Virginia Woolf and Clive Bell. In spite of her strong religious beliefs, in 1907 Ottoline became a co-founder, with Sybil Neville-Rolfe, Henry Havelock Ellis and Leonard Darwin, of the Eugenics Education Society.<ref name="evans"/>
In 1909, a committee met at Bedford Street to discuss the organization of a new 'Modern Art Association'. In addition to the Morrells, there were Dugald Sutherland MacColl, Keeper of the Tate Gallery, Charles Holmes, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, Roger Fry, Curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, pottery expert Ernest Marsh, and Charles Aitken, Director of the Whitechapel Gallery. They were joined by Arthur Clutton-Brock (1868–1924), art critic for ''The Times'', the poet John Bowyer Nichols, and Robbie Ross, Director of the Carfax Gallery. The committee settled on the name "Contemporary Art Society"; its first purchase was Augustus John's "Smiling Woman" (Woman Smiling), which has been in the Tate since 1917. Lady Ottoline would support the society for the rest of her life; she wrote, "I feel strongly that every penny one can save ought to be given to young artists. At least, we who really feel the beauty and wonder of art ought to help them. There are heaps of people who understand philanthropy…. and young creators have such a terrible struggle."<ref>{{cite web |title=Contemporary Art Society |url=https://contemporaryartsociety.org/organisations/contemporary-art-society-cas |website=contemporaryartsociety.org |publisher=Contemporary Art Society |access-date=28 April 2026}}</ref>
==Later life and death== Soon after moving to Gower Street, Lady Ottoline developed cancer of the jaw and had to have her lower teeth and part of her jawbone removed. In 1937, she suffered a stroke and was admitted to Sherwood Park Clinic, in Tunbridge Wells. The clinic was run by Dr Alexander Cameron (1887–1938), who, in 1924, had been sentenced to nine months' imprisonment for the unlawful killing of a patient at Northampton General Hospital. Cameron injected Lady Ottoline with Prontosil, an untested new drug. Ottoline’s condition worsened and Cameron killed himself. Two days later, on 21 April 1938, Ottoline died of heart failure, at age 64. She was buried at St Winifred's Churchyard in Worksop, Nottinghamshire.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Behan |first1=Andrew |title=Lady Ottoline Morrell |url=https://www.londonremembers.com/subjects/lady-ottoline-morrell |website=londonremembers.com |publisher=London Remembers |access-date=28 April 2026}}</ref> When he died, in 1943, Philip Morrell was buried next to her.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Thomasson, Anna|title=A Curious Friendship: The Story of a Bluestocking and a Bright Young Thing|year=2015|isbn=978-1-4472-4553-7|location=London|publisher=Macmillan|oclc=907936594}}</ref> A blue plaque in her honour was erected at her Gower Street home by the Greater London Council in 1986.<ref>{{cite web |title=MORRELL, LADY OTTOLINE (1873–1938) |url=https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/blue-plaques/lady-ottoline-morrell/ |website=English Heritage |access-date=12 September 2022}}</ref> A memorial statue, carved by Eric Gill, sits inside the front door of St Mary's Church, Garsington.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Brain |first1=Greg |title=Garsington Parish Church |url=https://www.garsington.org.uk/garsington-parish-church/ |website=garsington.org.uk |publisher=Garsington Village |access-date=28 April 2026}}</ref>
Morrell's work as a decorator, colourist and garden designer remains undervalued. The novelist Henry Green wrote to Philip Morrell of "her love for all things true and beautiful which she had more than anyone ... no one can ever know the immeasurable good she did".<ref>Miranda Seymour, ''Ottoline Morrell: Life on the Grand Scale'', p. 416.</ref>
==Legacy== Morrell maintained detailed journals, which, in 2026, remain unpublished. She also wrote her memoirs, which were edited by Robert Gathorne-Hardy and published in three volumes: ''Ottoline: The Early Memoirs of Lady Ottoline Morrell'' (1963),<ref>{{cite web |title=Ottoline; the early memoirs of Lady Ottoline Morrell |url=https://archive.org/details/ottolineearlymem00morr |website=archive.org |publisher=Internet Archive |access-date=28 April 2026}}</ref> ''Memoirs of Lady Ottoline Morrell: A Study in Friendship 1873–1915'' (1963),<ref>{{cite web |title=Memoirs of Lady Ottoline Morrell |url=https://books.google.ca/books/about/Memoirs_of_Lady_Ottoline_Morrell.html?id=ZwdKAQAAIAAJ&redir_esc=y |website=books.google.ca |publisher=Google Books |access-date=28 April 2026}}</ref> and ''Ottoline at Garsington: Memoirs of Lady Ottoline Morrell, 1915–1918'' (1974).<ref>{{cite web |title=Ottoline at Garsington |url=https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/catalog/613381 |website=catalogue.nla.gov.au |publisher=National Library of Australia |access-date=28 April 2026}}</ref>
Her letters, some manuscripts by Morrell and other authors, and many photographs and sketches provided by the authors to Morrell are collected at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.<ref name="texas"/> Her fantastically eccentric wardrobe, which includes 600 items of textiles, dress and accessories, is housed at the Fashion Museum, Bath. A further collection of Ottoline's textiles was auctioned in 2025.<ref>{{cite web |title=Auction Preview: The Collection of Lady Ottoline Morrell |url=https://www.dominicwinter.co.uk/news-item/auction-preview--the-collection-of-lady-ottoline-morrell/ |website=dominicwinter.co.uk |publisher=Dominic Winter Auctioneers |access-date=28 April 2026}}</ref>
In literature, Ottoline was the inspiration for the two Lawrence characters, for Mrs Bidlake in Aldous Huxley's ''Point Counter Point'', for Lady Caroline Bury in Graham Greene's ''It's a Battlefield'',<ref>{{cite book |last1=Amos |first1=William |title=The originals: Who's really who in fiction |date=1985 |publisher=Sphere |location=London |page=80}}</ref> and for Lady Sybilline Quarrell in Alan Bennett's ''Forty Years On''. ''The Coming Back'' (1933), another novel which portrays her, was written by Constance Malleson, one of Ottoline's many rivals for the affection of Bertrand Russell, as was ''Pugs and Peacocks'' (1921) by Gabriel Cannan. ''In Confidence,'' a 1917 short story by Katherine Mansfield, portrays the "wits of Garsington".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Alpers |first1=Antony |title=The life of Katherine Mansfield |date=1980 |publisher=Jonathan Cape |location=London |isbn=0-224-01625-3 |page=211}}</ref> Huxley's 1921 ''roman à clef'' ''Crome Yellow'' depicts life at a thinly veiled Garsington, with a caricature of Lady Ottoline Morrell for which she never forgave him.<ref>Bartłomiej Biegajło, ''Totalitarian (In)Experience in Literary Works and Their Translations'', Cambridge Scholars Publishing 2018, [https://books.google.com/books?id=h_N0DwAAQBAJ&dq=%22Crome+Yellow%22+Garsington&pg=PA22 p.22]</ref>
Portraits of Lady Ottoline were painted by, among others, Henry Lamb, Duncan Grant and Augustus John. There are several artistic photographs of her by Cecil Beaton.
In modern media, she is portrayed by Tilda Swinton in Derek Jarman's film ''Wittgenstein'', by Roberta Taylor in Brian Gilbert's film ''Tom & Viv'', by Penelope Wilton in Christopher Hampton's film ''Carrington'' and by Suzanne Bertish in Terence Davies's film ''Benediction''.
The first production of a biographical play, ''Ottoline'', by Janet Bolam, took place in the gardens of Garsington Manor in July 2021.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Pawsey |first1=Jan |title=Lady Morrell and her bohemians amok in Garsington Manor |url=https://www.dailyinfo.co.uk/feature/16834/ottoline#review69554 |access-date=8 July 2021}}</ref>
==Photography== Morrell took hundreds of photographs of the people in her circle.
