About the Item
A fascinating portrait dating from circa 1695-1700 with wonderful provenance: it belonged to the British industrialist Leonard Pelham Lee (1903–1980) and hung in his manor house in Warwickshire. Purportedly and according an old label on the verso, it depicts William Nelson, Admiral Horatio Nelson's paternal great-great grandfather. William was born in 1653 or 54 and was baptised at Wendling in Norfolk, the son of Edmund and Alice Nelson, on the 24th of March 1654. He became Rector of Hillington and was described in son Edmund Nelson's Cambridge University entry as "William Nelson of Dunham, Norfolk". He passed on in 1711.
