Edward Bouverie (junior)

Unlike his father, and other relatives, Edward did not involve himself in national politics but instead served the local community as a Justice of the Peace, Deputy Lieutenant (18 February 1793)[4] and High Sheriff of Northamptonshire (1800).

In 1814 Edward Bouverie purchased Weston Favell, which included the two principal farms, from the Ekins family for £23,970.

[10] As well as the portrait of "Mrs Richard Brinsley Sheridan", by Gainsborough now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., which was probably a gift from the Sheridan's to his parents, Edward also had a portrait "Mrs. Edward Bouverie of Delapré and Her Child" by Sir Joshua Reynolds, of his mother, possibly holding himself.

Also of note was a pen & brown ink sketch by Rembrandt of "An Artist in a Studio"[11] Of more local interest is a watercolour painting produced in about 1850 and details the areas of Far Cotton and Delapré, as they looked at the time.

'[13] The partner's greatest success was with War Eagle, a leggy 16.1 hand tall dark bay.
