Victorian chatelaine: Emily Meynell Ingram of Temple Newsam and Hoar Cross

18th Feb, 2025
Online event

Emily Meynell Ingram (1840–1904) was one of the wealthiest independent women of her age. A childless widow for three decades, she ruled over and beautified two great country houses; built several churches, including Bodley and Garner's masterpiece at Hoar Cross, Staffordshire; sailed her yacht; and became a cult figure to her heirs and dependants. The lecture will explore the life and legacy of a major female architectural patron.
