Lady Dorothy Long ( - 1710)
Described in The Book of Benefactors to the Ashmolean Museum as "the pride and joy of her family and her sex." She "showed a deep interest in primitive religions and antiquities" as was a woman of piety (f. 6v; MacGregor, 4). She donated an ivory crozier-head to the Museum: it "remains in the collections, still prized although now recognized as twelfth-century work and as having no possible connection with the saint posited as its owner by the donor" (MacGregor, 4).
