Inhaltsverzeichnis
Chapter 1 1547-1604 Elmley Lovett and an Elizabethan wife
As the great great great great grand-daughter of William Ince I have taken an interest in his work for many years and was captivated by the first piece of furniture I saw at Clandon Park. As a keen family historian I wanted to discover more about his background which involved many visits to the National Archives in Kew, London as I sought to unravel the seemingly innumerable court cases that the Ince family was involved in. Further travel to Worcestershire and to some of the stately homes with Ince & Mayhew furniture have enriched my understanding, along with reading articles and auction descriptions. I have twice been awarded a prize from the Josephine Birchenough Memorial Awards by the North West Kent Family History Society for my writing. See incemayhew.net for details.
