- Sir Stephen Glynne, 9th Baronet
Sir Stephen Richard Glynne, 9th Baronet (22 September 1807 – 17 June 1874)[ [http://www.thepeerage.com/p20813.htm#i208123 ThePeerage.com: Sir Stephen Richard Glynne, 9th Bt.] ] was a Welsh landowner, politician and historian of church architecture. He was a brother-in-law of the Liberal Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone.] Family
His father, the 8th Baronet died in 1815, aged 35,[ [http://www.thepeerage.com/p1435.htm#i14347 ThePeerage.com: Sir Stephen Richard Glynne, 8th Bt.] ] and at the age of seven Stephen inherited both the baronetcy and the family estates, including Hawarden Castle in Flintshire. His sister Catherine married William Gladstone, and Gladstone's father Sir John helped rescue Glynne from near bankruptcy after the failure of Oak Farm brick and iron works near Stourbridge, of which Glynne was part-owner.]["William Ewart Gladstone", in the Dictionary of National Biography] He was able to resume occupancy of Hawarden only by selling part of the estate and sharing the castle with William and Catherine.]Glynne never married, and the baronetcy became extinct on his death. The Hawarden estate and castle was left to his nephew William Henry Gladstone, the eldest son of William and Catherine.
Career
Educated at Eton and at Christ Church, Oxford, he was Member of Parliament (MP) for Flint Boroughs from 1832[ [http://www.angeltowns.com/town/peerage/fcommons.htm Historical list of MPs: F] , at Leigh Rayment's Peerage Pages] to 1837, and for Flintshire 1837 to 1841 and 1842 to 1847.]However, his real interests were not in politics, but in music and in church architecture. In the course of his life he visited over 5500 churches, usually on horseback, keeping notes on their architectural details and fittings. His manuscript notes, dating from 1824 until a few days before his death, are written in 106 volumes, and are now kept in the village of Hawarden at St Deiniol's Library. The library was built as a memorial to William Gladstone, who became a good friend of Stephen's, and frequently consulted him on ecclesiastical matters.["Sir Stephen Richard Glynne, 9th Baronet", in the Dictionary of National Biography] ] References
