Philip Pusey (25 June 1799 – 9 July 1855) was a reforming agriculturalist, a Tory Member of Parliament (MP) and a friend and follower of Sir Robert Peel.

Life

Pusey stood for election in Rye at a by-election in 1830 and was originally declared elected,[1][2] but following an election petition he was unseated by an order of the House of Commons[1] on 17 May 1830.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

He did not contest Rye at the 1830 general election, when he was elected as a Member for Chippenham.[3] He did not contest Chippenham at the 1831 election, and stood instead in Rye. After riots in the town hall, Pusey agreed to withdraw from the election in return for a guarantee from General De Lacy Evans to protect the peace of the town; Evans won the seat.[1]

Pusey was then returned at an uncontested by-election[4] in July 1831 for the borough of Cashel in Ireland,[5] and held that seat until the 1832 general election, when he stood unsuccessfully in Berkshire.[6] He was elected without a contest[6] for Berkshire at the 1835 general election,[7] and held the seat until he retired from the House of Commons at the 1852 general election.[6]

He was appointed as a Deputy Lieutenant of Berkshire in January 1831,[8] and was nominated as High Sheriff of Berkshire in November 1833[9] and again in November 1834.[10]

Succeeding to the Manor of Pusey in Berkshire in 1828, he built a reputation as a progressive and practical farmer. Disraeli called him "one of the most distinguished country gentlemen who ever sat in the House of Commons".[11] His most notable contribution to farming was the development of a system of using lush water-meadows to support large flocks of ewes and early-maturing lambs. He was an early advocate of the use of earthenware drainpipes for field drainage.[12]

He was one of the founders of the Royal Agricultural Society, and was chairman of the agricultural implement section of the Great Exhibition of 1851. He was a fellow of the Royal Society, a writer on varied topics in the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society and the translator of the hymn Lord of our Life and God of our Salvation.[13]

Family

The eldest son of Philip Bouverie-Pusey, Pusey was the elder brother of the churchman Edward Bouverie Pusey. He married Lady Emily Herbert, daughter of Henry Herbert, 2nd Earl of Carnarvon, in 1822.
