EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Renee Merandon du Plessis (1916-2007), later The Hon. Mrs Langton Iliffe, is depicted in this elegant 1938 portrait. Born of French and Mauritian descent, Renee's striking features, characterized by her dark, full lips and cascading dark hair, were a testament to her exotic heritage. Renee's life took an unexpected turn when she and her husband, Sir William Iliffe, were given the responsibility of rescuing and restoring Basildon Park in Berkshire, a grand English country house that had fallen into disrepair. This endeavor became their passion, and they devoted their time and resources to bringing the historic estate back to its former glory. The Hon. Mrs Langton Iliffe's dedication to preserving the beauty of Basildon Park extended beyond its physical restoration. She also played a significant role in its cultural revival, hosting events and exhibitions that showcased the arts and showcased the house's rich history. This portrait, taken in the 1930s, captures Renee's beauty and grace at a pivotal moment in her life. It serves as a reminder of her important contributions to the preservation of Basildon Park and the cultural heritage of Berkshire.
