H25 (234). Thomas Edward Twisden, F.S.A. 1818-1887. Plate XIII.
Portrait, in black suit, with large white shirt front, with brown cape.
1865. (49 1/2" X 39 1/2".) Artist: Alcide Carlo Ercoli.
Fourth son of Captain John Twisden, R.N., who was by right the 7th Baronet of Bradbourne, through the disinherited Lieutenant William. His mother was Anne Hammond.
He never married, was trained as a solicitor and became senior partner in a prosperous firm working largely for the Railway Companies. After his father and five sisters were reinstated at Bradbourne, he not only assisted the household financially but bought back the Park from Thomas Law Hodges and re-collected most of the Roydon and Bradbourne portraits between 1859-72.
Just when he was hoping to rejoin his sisters, who ran Bradbourne as "a republic", doing everything indoors and in the gardens themselves, his partner defaulted and the rest of his life was spent trying to rectify the wrongs.
