Chew, Elizabeth Brown, 1863-1958

Daughter of Mary Johnson Brown Chew, and Samuel Chew (1832-1887), Elizabeth Brown Chew (1863-1958) acted as a custodian for the Cliveden property, living there for most of her adult life. After her mother's death, she advocated for Cliveden's historic preservation and undertook renovations to the property at her own expense. She acted as one of the agents for the Chew Family Trust and managed Cliveden's affairs until her nephew Samuel (1915-1989), who was heir to the property, reached legal age. Elizabeth never married, but she maintained an active social life, traveling extensively overseas throughout her life and entertaining at Cliveden.
