The next owner of Rostellan is Dr Wise a Scotsman who lived in Rostellan House with his spinster sister Anne untill his death in 1879. He had made his money with Indigo plantations in India. The trade in Indigo created brisk and great trade fortunes during the 1739-1742 war with Spain/Portugal and France when Royal Blue dye became scarce in England. After his death the house content was sold in a big 4 day house auction at Rostellan. Priced possessions such as paintings of Turner, Van Dyke, Claude and Michaud. He left the estate to his brother James F.N. Wise who sold it to Sir John Pope Hennessy who sold it to C.J. Engledow and after that to MR. Rattner
