Daughter of General Thomas Pakenham, 5th Earl of Longford and Lady Mary Julia Child-Villiers. Lady Pansy was the second wife of the artist Henry Taylor Lamb.
Lady Pansy was a friend of Evelyn Gardner (later Evelyn Nightingale) who became the wife of writer Evelyn Waugh in his short-lived first marriage. The young ladies shared a flat in London and both couples were married in the same year.
Henry was 19 years her senior when he and Pansy were married. After her husband's death in 1960, she moved to London and continued her intellectual pursuits, translating a volume of poems by Charles Peguy and later working on an edition of the letters of Dickens. (Her first book, The Old Expedient, a novel, had appeared - from Evelyn Waugh's father's publishing house, Chapman and Hall - in 1928; she was also the author of King Charles I, for Duckworth's "Great Lives" series, in 1936.)
