(1794 - 1866)
William Ingalton was born in Worplesdon, Surrey; the son of a shoemaker. During his early career he lived and worked in Eton, painting domestic scenes and landscapes. Between 1816 and 1826 he exhibited at the Royal Academy, British Institution and Society of British Artists. However, he later went into partnership with builder Henry Emlyn, abandoning painting because of ‘ill health’. The partnership was dissolved in 1833. In the 1841 census he is living in New Windsor with his wife, Sarah Ann, and two daughters; still working as a builder. In 1851 he is based in Clewer, near Windsor, and his profession is listed as architect and surveyor. By 1861 the family are living with Ingalton’s sister in Paddington, London. He died in Clewer, aged 72.
