Fine Art Prints From Royal Cornwall Museum

Ince Castle, Elm Gate, St Stephens by Saltash, Cornwall. 1961

The main facade of Ince Castle, seen under scaffolding, during alteration work which included the addition of French windows to allow more light to the dark ground floor and extension of the service wing. The Grade I listed mansion house is thought to be the earliest brick house in Cornwall and overlooks the River Lynher, near Saltash. It was built by Henry Killigrew, Member of Parliament for West Looe, in the mid 17th century. The house was then bought by Truro merchant Edward Norsworthy in 1652. In 1722 the house was owned by John Hobart, 1st Earl of Buckinghamshire, before being sold to Pendock Neale, husband of Harriot Eliot of St Germans. In 1805, Ince was sold to Edward Smith. The house was inherited by his stepdaughter, Mary Smith, who lived there with her husband, Captain Henry Crease of the Royal Navy, and family until the 1850s. The house became rundown until it was bought and substantially remodelled by Montague Eliot (later to become 8th Earl of St Germans) in 1918. Between 1922 and 1937, Ince was owned by H.R. Somerset (known as Bobby), a well known yachtsman and founder member of the Royal Ocean Racing Club. His yacht, Jolie Brise, was the first winner of the Fastnet Race and was housed in the boathouse at Ince. Mr and Mrs James Bryce Allen owned the house between 1937 and 1960 when it was sold to Patricia, Viscountess Boyd, who was married to former Colonial Secretary Alan Lennox-Boyd, 1st Viscount Boyd of Merton. The gardens were created in the 1960s by Patricia, Lady Boyd, a keen plantswoman and vice-president of Cornwall Garden Society. Their son, Simon Lennox-Boyd, 2nd Viscount Boyd of Merton, and daughter in law, Alice, Lady Boyd, lived in the house between 1994 and 2018. Photographer: Charles Woolf

EDITORS COMMENTS
"Ince Castle, Elm Gate, St Stephens by Saltash, Cornwall. 1961 This print captures the main facade of Ince Castle during a transformative period in its history. The image reveals the mansion house under scaffolding as alteration work takes place. These renovations included the addition of French windows to bring more light into the dark ground floor and an extension of the service wing. With its Grade I listed status, Ince Castle holds great historical significance as it is believed to be Cornwall's earliest brick house. Majestically overlooking the River Lynher near Saltash, this architectural gem was originally built in the mid-17th century by Henry Killigrew, Member of Parliament for West Looe. Over time, Ince Castle changed hands several times before falling into disrepair. However, in 1918 it found a savior in Montague Eliot (later becoming 8th Earl of St Germans), who extensively remodeled and restored it. Notably associated with maritime achievements as well, Ince Castle housed H. R. Somerset (known as Bobby) between 1922 and 1937 – a renowned yachtsman and founder member of the Royal Ocean Racing Club. The gardens surrounding Ince Castle were lovingly created by Patricia Boyd – Viscountess Boyd – during the 1960s. A passionate plantswoman and vice-president of Cornwall Garden Society, she added her personal touch to this remarkable estate. Throughout its rich history filled with diverse owners and occupants such as Mr and Mrs James Bryce Allen or Patricia Boyd herself – married to former Colonial Secretary Alan Lennox-Boyd – Ince Castle has stood strong against time while preserving its grandeur".
