Frances Gibson Shepheard Ingram

Lady Ingram was the illegitimate daughter of the rich Tory merchant, Samuel Shepheard; her mother was called Gibson.

[1] At their seat in Yorkshire, Temple Newsam, Lady Ingram insisted that Capability Brown redesign the parkland.

[1] For instance, surviving correspondence shows she helped her husband mark out where shrubs were to be planted along her gravel walk.

[1] She was also painted by Joshua Reynolds in a pensive mood, leaning on a book, a copy of which is at Temple Newsam.

[4] In 1796, she remodelled the south wing at Temple Newsam; and in 1806 the Prince of Wales visited her there giving her some Chinese wallpaper.
