Her great-uncle was the hymn-writing bishop Reginald Heber and her niece the writer Stella Benson.

After brief periods in Farnborough, Warwickshire and Leaton, Shropshire, the family returned to Hodnet when her father was appointed rector in 1874 in succession to his father. Much of the first 30 years of her life was taken up with helping her sickly mother run the household and her father with parish work, although she was debilitated with asthma. She entertained her brothers and sisters with stories from an early ageAfter her father retired in 1896, she moved with him and her sister Diana to Condover Hall, which they had inherited from Reginald.
