John Hanbury (1744–1784) was one of a dynasty of ironmasters responsible for the industrialisation and urbanisation of the eastern valley through which runs the Afon Llwyd (in English "grey river") in Monmouthshire around Pontypool. His father Capel Hanbury, MP for Leominster had purchased the house and land in west Monmouthshire. He had married Jane Tracy on 7 October 1743, only daughter of Thomas, 5th Viscount Tracy by Elizabeth Keyt, an heiress who brought a large fortune, that was used to purchase the land and build the house. He was MP for Monmouthshire from 1765 until 1785, before a writ was issued for a by-election. The Hanbury family lived in the manor-house of Hoarstone in Pontypool Park which now houses St. Alban's R.C. High School and Pontypool Museum. John Hanbury built the Shell Grotto, Pontypool and Folly Tower above Pontypool Park. He was the third of that name to head the family, and was the son of Capel Hanbury (1707 - 1765) and grandson of John Hanbury (1664–1734). His great grandfather Capel Hanbury (1625 – 1704) began the building of Pontypool Park House in 1659. They had issue: * John Capel Hanbury * Capel Hanbury - later he took the name of Hanbury-Leigh * Charles Hanbury-Tracy was created Baron Sudeley. == External links == *(Welsh Biography Online ) 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「John Hanbury (1744–1784)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
