Edward Hermon (2 April 1822 – 6 May 1881)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Historical list of MPs: Constituencies beginning with "P" (part 2 ) )〕 was a British cotton magnate and Conservative Party politician. At the 1868 general election he was elected on his first attempt a Member of Parliament (MP) for the two-seat constituency of Preston in Lancashire. He was re-elected in the 1874 and in 1880 general elections, and held the seat until he died in office in 1881, aged 59.〔 The resulting by-election in Preston was held on 23 May 1881, and won by the Conservative candidate William Ecroyd.〔 Hermon's last recorded contribution to debates in the House of Commons was eight days before his death, on 28 April 1881, when he asked Prime Minister Gladstone a sceptical question about the proposed commercial treaty with France.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=House of Commons Debates 28 April 1881 vol 260 columns 1313-4 )〕 ==Family== In 1872–78 Hermon had Wyfold Court built at Rotherfield Peppard near Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire.〔 It is an elaborate Gothic Revival country house designed by the architect Somers Clarke.〔 Hermon's only daughter was Frances Caroline Hermon (died 1929), who was married in 1877 to Robert Trotter Hodge (1851–1937), who later became MP for Accrington and other constituencies. After being made a baronet in 1902, Hodge changed his surname to ''Hermon-Hodge'' in honour of his wife's family, and was later ennobled as Baron Wyfold.〔〕 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 Hermon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
