The Manor of Lackham Vol 3 : The Montagu family Appendix 2 Historical image of a Lackham Montagu Some years ago Andrew Davies 496 very kindly passed on the results of research he had been doing on the Montagu family. He had found reference to a portrait in Salisbury & South Wiltshire Museum 497 , purportedly of " ------------ a son of James Montague of Lackham This was very exciting as only two other images of Lackham Montagus are known; a miniature of George Montagu the Naturalist (1751 - 1815), in the keeping of the Society of Antiquaries in London, and a portrait of his uncle Admiral John Montagu (1719 - 1795). There is a statue to John's son James Montague (1752 - 1794), in Westminster Abbey, but James can't really be claimed by Lackham. This branch of the family was not living at Lackham and he was not born there. He is of the Lackham line, however. Through the good offices of the then Assistant Curator at Salisbury & South Wiltshire Museum, Jane Standen, I was able to view to portrait. She also arranged for a photograph of the painting to be made available as well. It is reproduced here by kind permission of Salisbury & South Wiltshire Museum, who hold the copyright. The portrait is nicely executed, there are no background etails and it is undated. 496 Previously Curator of Lackham Museum of Agriculture and Rural Life and now (2010) Curator and Manager of Manor Farm Country Park, Hampshire (http://www3.hants.gov.uk/hampshire-countryside/manorfarm.htm ) 497 Salisbury & South Wiltshire Museum The King's House, 65 The Close, Salisbury Wiltshire SP1 2EN Tel: (+44) 1722 332151. The portrait can be viewed by prior arrangement (as it is not on display) by contacting Mrs Standen, Assistant Curator, at the museum on the number above, or by email at museum@salisburymuseum.orq.uk 126
The Manor of Lackham Vol 3 : The Montagu family Fig. 29 --- a son of James Montague of Lackham ** The painter was John Greenhill (1642 - 1676). He was born at Orchardleigh in Somerset or Salisbury, there seems to be some confusion about this. He was brought up in Salisbury where his father was Diocesan Registrar and his mother was Penelope, the daughter of Richard Champneys of Orchardleigh 498 , so it is possible he was born in either place. Where does not appear to be known for certain. John went to London as a young man to become Lely's pupil. He 498 Dictionary of National Biography vol VIII p522 127
