Mrs Willie James (born Evelyn Elizabeth Forbes; 1867–1929), was known in the late Victorian and Edwardian period as the hostess of house parties and shooting weekends at the West Dean House country estate in Sussex, England. Frequent guests included Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, who acted as godfather to her son, Edward James. After the death of her husband in 1912, Evelyn married Major John Chaytor Brinton; the marriage was annulled in 1927. Evelyn died in 1929 following an operation and was buried in West Dean cemetery.
