Hi Anna, and a warm welcome to the forum & website.
Thanks for your interesting and helpful post. It seems there were a few ladies named Monique de la Pasture, but this helpful webpage and photo appears to describe the lady you recall, and also her husband George Bullough.

"Portrait of Lady Bullough, born Monica Lilly Ducarel de la Pasture (1869-1967).

Lady Monica Lilly Bullough was born in Christchurch, New Zealand on 7 April 1869. Her mother died the following day. She is the eldest daughter of French aristocrat Gerard Gastavus Ducarel (1838-1916), fourth Marquis de la Pasture and Léontine Standish (1843-1869). Monique marries first Charles Edward Nicholas Charrington on 19 March 1889. From this marriage was born the following year, Dorothea Elizabeth Charrington. This marriage is a failure and the divorce is pronounced on 25 May 1903. A month later, Monique Ducarel de la Pasture married Sir George Bullough (1870-1939), 1st Baronet, on 24 June 1903 at Kinloch Castle, Rum Island. From this second union, was born on 5 November 1906, Hermione Bullough. Monique Ducarel de la Pasture dies in Newmarket, Warren Hill, Suffolk, United Kingdom, on 22 May 1967, at the respectable age of 98 years."

The same webpage included this note and photo wrt George Bullough;

"Sir George Bullough was born on 28 February 1870 in Accrington, Lancashire. He married Monique Lilly Ducarel de la Pasture (1869-1967) at Kinloch Castle on the island of Rùm on 24 June 1903.
Monique's family had an estate at Montreuil-sur-Mer in northern France. Known as Lady Monica, she obtained a divorce in order to marry Bullough. She was the eldest daughter of the Fourth Marquis de la Pasture whose aristocrat ancestors had fled the French Revolution and Leontine Standish (1843-1869), daughter of Lord Charles Strickland Standish (1790-1863). They had one daughter, Hermione, who married John Lambton, 5th Earl of Durham.
Sir George Bullough, 1st Baronnet, died in France in the city of Le Touquet on 26 July 1939."

Belatedly found this page about Sir George Bullough, it seems he enjoyed a very pleasant lifestyle, and was clearly a gentleman of importance in the Redmarley area ! The notes include;

"In 1909, Sir George Bullough purchased the Down House, Redmarley, where he moved his stud, consequently breeding well-known horses such as Ethnarch, Grand Vitesse, Valois and Ellanvale on the premises.
In 1913, he purchased a 1902 steel yacht, also named Rhouma, which was hired to the Royal Navy as an auxiliary patrol yacht during World War I.
Bullough served as a cavalry officer with the Imperial Yeomanry from 1908 to 1911 and because of his horsemanship, during World War I he was appointed a superintendent with the Remount Department with the rank of major. For his services to his country, George Bullough was created a baronet 'of the Isle of Rhum and of Down House in the parish of Redmarley in the County of Worcester' on 21 January 1916.
With his wealth, he chose to pursue an interest in yachting and Thoroughbred horse racing as well as hunting, serving as Master of the Ledbury Foxhounds from 1908 through 1921."

I wonder how this wedding I mentioned earlier in this thread fits into this family household ?

"1942, Beccles & Bungay 28 Feb,
