Sir Edward Hain (December 1851 – 20 September 1917) was a leading shipping owner in Cornwall, England, and a politician who represented St Ives as a Liberal Unionist from 1900 to 1904, and as a Liberal from 1904 to 1906. His shipping company, Hain Line, was sold to the recently merged Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company and British-India Steam Navigation Company after his death. ==Personal life== Edward Hain was the son of Edward Hain, a shipping magnate and the latest in a long line of shipowners from Cornwall. Hain was born at St Ives in December 1851 and received his education locally at Mr James Rowe’s school, at Academy Steps, in Fore Street.〔Christian Guild: (Treloyhan Manor Hotel )〕 Hain did not originally intend to go into shipping. He went to London to work with a bank and then with a tea merchant. However, on his return to St Ives in 1878, his experience in the tea trade had convinced him that the family company should switch from sail to steam.〔P&O Heritage: (The Hain Steamship Company )〕 In 1882, he was married to Catherine Seward. They had two daughters, one of whom died.〔 Their son, Captain Edward Hain, was killed in the First World War while serving with the 1st Devon Yeomanry at Gallipoli.〔 - 〕 He owned "nearly all the lands between St Ives, Towednack and Zennor, known as the Porthia Estate.〔 In 1892, Hain built for himself Treloyhan Manor overlooking St Ives Bay. Sir Edward’s family kept Treloyhan until about 1928, when the property was sold to a company formed to develop part of the extensive grounds as a building estate. The mansion itself was converted into a hotel, the Treloyhan Manor Hotel, which opened on 1 July 1930. During the Second World War, between 1941 and 1945, it housed the girls of Downs School, evacuated from Seaford in Sussex. In 1947, the building was acquired by the Wesley Guild for use as a guest house.〔 Hain was described as an "ardent Nonconformist"; he was a benefactor of the United Methodist Church in St Ives and had a "very great interest" in temperance.〔 Hain died on 20 September 1917. aged 65. He was survived by his widow and his daughter,〔 Kate, who married Denis Shipwright on 21 March 1918. He was elected MP as a Conservative for Penryn and Falmouth at the 1922 general election.〔Election supplement, ''The Times'', 17 November 1922, p. 24.〕 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 Hain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
