They had 4 sons and 4 daughter. Unlike his father, and other relatives, Edward did not involve himself in national politics but instead served the local community as a Justice of the Peace, Deputy Lieutenant and High Sheriff of Northamptonshire (1800).〔A genealogical and heraldic history of the commoners of Great Britain and Ireland〕 He spent time in investing in the Delapré estate, in artwork and in horses. ==Delapré Estate== Edward inherited Delapré on the death of his father in 1810. Helped with the inheritance of his wife which included Rougham Hall〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Landed families of Britain and Ireland: (58) Agnew of Rougham Hall and Great Stanhope St., London, baronets )〕 and Wicken Hall,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bardwell Village, Suffolk (Official Web Site) - Wyken Hall - Flower Festival 2007 )〕 Edward was able to improve and extend the Delapré Estate. Weston Favell, which included the two principal farms, was sold by the Ekins family to Edward Bouverie in 1814 for £23,970.〔Conservation Area Appraisal & Management Plan〕 A model farm, now known as Home Farm, was built on the Delapre estate for the bailiff between 1830 and 1855. Farmstead design during this period was governed by economy in labour and buildings, together with some architectural embellishment. Home Farm followed a typical layout comprising a double quadrangle with the farmhouse at the south end, the barn at the north end, and east and west foldyards. In 1823, after protracted negotiations Edward purchase charity lands belonging to St. Leonard's (The Leper Hospitals) and the Grammar School in Far Cotton and other lands in Northampton from Northampton Corporation for £2,500 together with £470 in interest. There were some questions over the transaction which were not finally resolved until 1864, after Edwards’s death.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Leper Hospitals of Northampton )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward Bouverie (junior)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
