Anna Seward commemorated the Ladies of Llangollen—Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Ponsonby—through her 1796 poem titled "Llangollen Vale, Inscribed to the Right Honourable Lady Eleanor Butler, and Miss Ponsonby."

Following a close visit to the pair in the summer of 1795, Seward wrote this long poem to celebrate their devoted life together. The work specifically honors their cottage and the exclusive, intimate circle they cultivated in Llangollen Vale.1
