Jane Granville, Countess Of Bath

Jane Granville, Countess of Bath (née Wyche), was born in 1630 and died on 3 February 1692. She was the daughter of Peter Wyche, who served as the English ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, and his wife, Jane Meredith. Her familial connections include her siblings Peter Wyche, an ambassador to Russia and Poland, and Cyril Wyche, who became President of the Royal Society. Her paternal grandparents were Richard Wyche, a merchant, and Elizabeth Saltonstall, daughter of Richard Saltonstall, who served as Lord Mayor of London. Nathaniel Wyche, her uncle, was a merchant and president of the East India Company.

In October 1652, Jane Wyche married John Granville at Kilkhampton. John Granville later received the title of Earl of Bath following the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, which made his wife the Countess of Bath. The marriage produced several children, including:

- Charles Granville, who became the 2nd Earl of Bath (1661–1701). He married twice; first to Lady Martha Osborne, daughter of Thomas Osborne, 1st Duke of Leeds, and second to Isabella van Nassau.

- Lady Jane Granville (circa 1653–1696), who married Sir William Leveson-Gower, 4th Baronet. Their children included John Leveson-Gower, 1st Baron Gower.

- Lady Catherine Granville, who married Craven Peyton, MP for Boroughbridge, but had no children.

- Lady Grace Granville (1654–1744), who married George Carteret, 1st Baron Carteret of Haynes Park. She was later created a peer in her own right as Viscountess Carteret and Countess Granville.

- John Granville, 1st Baron Granville of Potheridge (1665–1707), who married Rebecca Child but had no children.

John Granville, 1st Earl of Bath, outlived his wife and died in 1701. His son, the 2nd Earl of Bath, died within a fortnight, possibly by suicide, and was buried on the same day as his father. The title then passed to Charles's only son, William Granville, who died of smallpox at age 19 in 1711.
