Chandos Wren-Hoskyns

Chandos Wren-Hoskyns BA, JP, DL (15 February 1812 – 28 November 1876) was an English landowner, agriculturist, politician and author.

Family Born Chandos Hoskyns, as the second son of Sir Hungerford Hoskyns, 7th Baronet of Harewood Park, Herefordshire, he was descended from the poet John Hoskins. In 1837 he married Theodosia Wren – descended from Christopher Wren and a daughter and heiress of Christopher Roberts Wren of Wroxall Abbey, Warwickshire – and changed his surname to Wren-Hoskyns. His main interest latterly was reform of land tenure, specifically, obstacles to the purchase and sale of land, such as primogeniture and entail.
