John Ivory-Talbot

John Ivory-Talbot (c. 1691 – October 1772), of Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire, was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1715 and 1741.

Ivory was the eldest son of Sir John Ivory of New Ross, County Wexford and his wife Anne Talbot, eldest daughter and coheiress of Sir John Talbot, MP of Lacock Abbey.

In 1735, his nephew Thomas's mother Lady Mansel objected to Ivory-Talbot being made his sole guardian on the grounds that he was driven to drink because his wife was mad.

[3] Ivory-Talbot made substantial alterations to Lacock Abbey in the Gothic Revival style in the 1750s.
