Elwyn Pemberley was the only son of Lord Leopold and Lady Augusta Pemberley.
He was born in 1870, in Devon.
He inherited his father's title and estate on his father's death.
Lord Elwyn was a quiet but learned man,
enjoying music and literature and anthropology.
He took every opportunity to experience different cultures
and often took Grand Tours.
Matt Gross, in "Lessons From the Frugal Grand Tour." New York Times 5 September 2008.
described a Grand Tour thus,
"Three hundred years ago,
wealthy young Englishmen began taking a post-Oxbridge trek through France and Italy
in search of art, culture and the roots of Western civilization.
With nearly unlimited funds, aristocratic connections and months (or years) to roam,
they commissioned paintings,
perfected their language skills
and mingled with the upper crust of the Continent."
He met Marama Smith at a Maori Concert.
They married in 1920
and had 2 children:
Victoria b. 1921
Albert b. 1924.
Lord Elwyn died in 1925.

For reflection ...
The big OE is not restricted to the English nobility.
Young people from all walks of life
yearn to discover how other people live.
What impact does tourism have on our communities, our environment,
our indigenous peoples, our native languages,
our health and the stability of family groups?
