Sir John Boyd, 2nd Baronet


Sir John Boyd, 2nd Baronet was the son of John Boyd, 1st Baronet Boyd, and his first wife Mary Bumpstead.
On his father's death in 1800, John inherited the whole estate and his father's title. He auctioned off his father's large collection of paintings and drawings, demolished the imposing kitchen and stable wings at his father's new country house of Danson, and built the house's present stable block, before selling the estate in 1807. He was MP for Wareham from 1780 to 1784.
