Leonard Daneham Cunliffe was a wealthy financier, serving as Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England as well as an early shareholder of Harrods department store. Having spotted the Cornish estate of Trelissick whilst sailing in his boat Loranda, he initially rented the property before purchasing the estate in 1918. On his death it passed to his step-daughter Ida Copeland who served as MP for Stoke-on-Trent from 1931 to 1935. Ida and her husband Roland gifted Trelissick to the National Trust in 1955.
