Elsham Hall

They had one daughter, Eleanor Blanche Mary Corbett, and she married in 1858 Sir John Dugdale Astley, 3rd Baronet.

Their eldest son also took the additional name of Corbett and so became Sir Francis Edmund George Astley-Corbett, 4th Baronet.

There were also a number of museums and arts charities founded by Capt Elwes, including the Lincolnshire Life Museum, various working windmills, including Wrawby Post Mill, and the St Hugh's Foundation that assists artists to travel overseas in Lincoln.

Elsham Estate is approximately 1000 hectares of mainly woodland and pasture land with a famous Lambing Sunday.

It has a barn theatre restaurant built by Robert Elwes in 1989 that hosts classical music, mediaeval banquets and weddings.

The gardens include a large medieval carp lake, and a 19th-century coach house and stables, which is a Grade II listed building.

[13][14] It is a local point of interest and a destination for school field trips, particularly during the spring lambing season.
