Sir Arthur Cowell-Stepney, 2nd Baronet
Sir Emile Algernon Arthur Keppel Cowell-Stepney, 2nd Baronet (1834–1909) was a British landowner and politician. He was the youngest son of Sir John Stepney Cowell-Stepney (1791–1877).
==Upbringing and career==
Arthur Cowell was born on 26 December 1834. He was educated at Eton and subsequently became a clerk in the Foreign Office. In 1857 his father changed the family’s surname to Cowell-Stepney following his inheritance of the Stepney family estates in Carmarthenshire. Arthur became heir to the estates, and to his family’s new baronetcy, following the death of his elder brother Frederick in 1872. In 1876 he was elected Liberal MP for Carmarthen Boroughs, the seat that his father had held from 1868–74, and succeeded to the baronetcy on his father’s death on 15 May 1877. He resigned his seat in 1878 but was again elected for it in 1886, serving until 1892. However, his contribution to Parliament was minimal. In local affairs he was a harsh landlord who kept his rent levels high,〔M Cragoe, An Anglican Aristocracy: The Moral Economy of the Landed Estate in Carmarthenshire 1832-95 (1996)〕 but he was also a great benefactor to local schools as well as the local library and Mechanics’ Institute.〔H M Jones, Llanelli Lives (2000), 69.〕 The second baronet of the second creation of the Stepney baronetcy informally he was considered a continuation of the first and was thus known as the 11th baronet.〔Kelly's Handbook 1936〕
Around 1880 Sir Arthur's estate measured 9,841 acres in Carmarthenshire (with a rent roll worth 7,047 guineas per year), with six acres in Berkshire, probably the house and garden of their Ascot property Woodend.〔The Great Landowners of Great Britain and Ireland by John Bateman, 1883〕
