Fanny Mary Katherine Bulkeley-Owen

Fanny Mary Katherine Bulkeley-Owen (1845 – 25 November 1927) was a British historian and author.

Bulkeley-Owen was the only daughter of John Ormsby-Gore, 1st Baron Harlech. She displayed a keen interest in researching Welsh cultural movements, and wrote a memorandum on the history of Maelor Saesneg for the Welsh Land Commission in 1894. She was awarded the bardic title of Gwenrhian Gwynedd.[1]

In 1897, Bulkeley-Owen published a history of the parish of Selattyn,[2] which includes the family estate of Brogyntyn. She died in Shrewsbury in 1927.[1]

The National Library of Wales is in possession of a letter written by Lord Harlech to her, dated December 9, 1906.[3]
