  • The family of Bouverie is one of those which the religious persecutions of France and

the Low Countries drove to take shelter in Great Britain. They are descended from one Laurence des Bouveries, who settled in Canterbury some 300 years ago. The first Earl married Harriet, only daughter and heir of Sir Mark Pleydell, of Coleshill-house, whose name his descendants have since joined to their own. Like the Coventrys, the Wards, and the Barings, the Bouveries laid the foundation of their coronet in the City of London, where Bouverie-street and Pleydell- street still commemorate their name.
