Her brother Frederick George Wood changed his name by Royal Licence in 1905 to Meynell, and under the terms of her will inherited the Meynell family property at Hoar Cross.

Hugo Meynell-Ingram had also inherited the ancient seat of Temple Newsam, in Leeds, now owned by Leeds City Council; which his widow also continued to develop until her death in 1904.[1]
