Former lady of the manor, eg (7)

I believe the answer is:

dowager

(Other definitions for dowager that I've seen before include "Dignified (or wealthy) elderly woman" , "Wordage (anag.)" , "elderly lady of means" , "Nobleman's widow" , "Widow, imposing elderly woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
