Epithetof Sawston and Purse Caundle
ActivityEdward Huddleston (1774-1852) spent the vast majority of his life not expecting to inherit the family's lands, and yet possibly because of the legacy given him by his godfather in 1779 and wisely invested in the 1780s, he lived the life of a wealthier man than his brother. He is known to have travelled abroad extensively, which likely indicates a love of adventure as well as feeling more at home in Catholic countries than in Britain. He was of course educated abroad, and in 1788 wrote to his family enthusing about his love of football which raises the prospect of him being a 19th century sportsman and adventurer - his son would go on to follow his footsteps in touring the continent, as well as being a first-class cricketer. He served in the army for almost a decade, but resigned his commission at the same time as his brother was preparing to campaign in Ireland which possibly suggests Edward was not enthused by the prospect of military engagements. His landed estates, at Purse Caundle and possibly elsewhere required a degree of management, however his long stays on the continent indicate this duty was unlikely to have been at the forefront of his mind.
