Pryse Pryse

Pryse Pryse (1 June 1774 — 4 January 1849) of Gogerddan, Cardiganshire and Buscot Park, Berkshire was a British Lord Lieutenant and Member of Parliament for Cardigans Boroughs from 1818 until his death in 1849.

Pryse was the son of Edward Loveden of Buscot Park and Margaret Pryse, daughter of Lewis Pryse of Woodstock and Gogerddan. Through his mother, he inherited an estate of 30,000 acres in upland Cardiganshire, which gave him a strong claim to a parliamentary seat.

Pryse served as High Sheriff of Cardiganshire in 1799.

During his thirty year parliamentary career, Pryse was regarded as a supporter of moderate reform who advocated Liberal principles.

Pryse was a supporter of parliamentary reform. On 22 March 1831, supported the First Reform Bill and voted against Isaac Gascoyne's wrecking amendment. This brought down the government and resulted in a General Election in which Pryse was returned unopposed.
