NotesEdward Loveden Loveden (c. 1749-1822) was a wealthy politician, landowner, and soldier, who built the still standing Buscot Park in 1779. Buscot Park was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1956 and according to the Buscot Park and Farington Collection website, Edward Loveden Loveden's career was very active: he served as High Sheriff of Berkshire in 1781-2, was MP for Abingdon (1783-96) and Shaftesbury in Dorset (1802-12), and was a magistrate for Berkshire, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire. He was also a lieutenant-colonol of the Berkshire militia. In 1793, he co-founded what is now known as the Royal Agricultural Society and also presided over the parlimentary committee responsible for improving navigations and routes along the Thames to Gloucestershire. Edward Loveden Loveden married three times. He married Margaret Pryse (d. 1784) in 1773, and then a daughter of a wealthy London merchant, and a third time to a woman named Anne Lintall.
