Metal Prints from Royal Cornwall Museum
Ince Castle, Elm Gate, St Stephens by Saltash, Cornwall. 1911
The main entrance of Ince Castle, given by General Porter of Trematon Castle to Arthur Steed in 1911. Steed was a former tenant of Ince Castle. 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: Unknown

Ince Castle, Elm Gate, St. Stephens by Saltash, Cornwall, 1911: A Snapshot of History and Heritage This photograph showcases the impressive facade of Ince Castle, a Grade I listed mansion house nestled near Saltash, Cornwall, overlooking the tranquil River Lynher. Built in the mid-17th century by Henry Killigrew, Member of Parliament for West Looe, Ince Castle is believed to be the earliest brick house in Cornwall. The castle's rich history is reflected in its colorful past. It was once owned by Edward Norsworthy, a Truro merchant, before passing through the hands of various noble families, including the Earls of Buckinghamshire and the Neales of St. Germans. In the early 19th century, Ince was owned by Edward Smith, who inherited it from his stepdaughter, Mary Smith, and her husband, Captain Henry Crease of the Royal Navy. The castle fell into disrepair until it was bought and substantially remodelled by Montague Eliot in 1918. Between 1922 and 1937, Ince was the residence of H.R. Somerset, 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. From 1937 to 1960, Mr. and Mrs. James Bryce Allen owned the castle. The gardens were created in the 1960s by Patricia, Lady Boyd, a keen plantswoman and vice-president of the Cornwall Garden Society. The castle was later owned by Simon Lennox-Boyd, 2nd Viscount Boyd of Merton, and his daughter-in-law, Alice, Lady Boyd, between 1994 and 2018. The main entrance of Ince Castle, as depicted in this photograph, was given to Arthur Steed by General Porter of Trematon Castle in 1911. Steed was a former tenant of Ince Castle, and this gift marked the beginning of a new chapter in the castle's storied history.
