Robert Bruford (28 June 1868 – 29 December 1939) was a British farmer and agriculturist who developed his activities into the political field. Highly active in his native Somerset where he was a member of many public bodies and served in local government, Bruford was briefly the Conservative Party Member of Parliament for Wells. ==Farming upbringing== The son of a farmer and Justice of the Peace also named Robert Bruford, Bruford was educated at Thorn Park School in Teignmouth and Fullands School in Taunton,〔"Debrett's House of Commons and Judicial Bench 1923", Dean & Son Ltd, 1923, p. 19.〕 but went to work on the farm and in the brewery business owned by the family at an early age. He assumed full control of the business in 1896.〔"Mr. Robert Bruford" (obituary), ''The Times'', 30 December 1939, p. 9.〕 At the Bath and West of England Agricultural Show in Newport, Monmouthshire in June 1907, his two-year-old bull 'Pound Bellringer' was reckoned the leader in its class,〔"Bath And West of England Agricultural Show", ''The Times'', 6 June 1907, p. 12.〕 and he won prizes in other years as well.〔See, e.g., "Bath And West Show", ''The Times'', 18 May 1923, p. 9.〕 As with many farms in the area, the family held a farm tenancy rather than owning the land themselves. Bruford became a Director of the Taunton Gas Company Ltd, and of the West Somerset Bacon and Dairy Company Ltd.〔
