Edmond Bell

Edmond Bell

Sir Edmond Bell Of Castle Acre and Beaupre Hall, Norfolk. (b. 7 April 1562 – Dec 1607-(will proved 8 February) 1608). Educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge? was a MP of Aldeburgh, 1586, Justice of the Peace, Norfolk c. 1599, Knighted 1603. First son and heir of Sir Robert Bell and Dorthie daughter of Edmonde Beaupre, Of Outwell/Upwell, Norfolk, and Catherine Bedingfield.

Early life

The first mention of Edmonde Bell, dates from 1567, where he is found recorded in his Grandfather's will, who bequeaths certain property to him, "books of law and Greek." Speculating in cursory detail concerning his early childhood and development, at first glance one would imagine that as heir and first borne of Sir Robert's eight children, he would have benefited in a greater capacity by his fathers influence, however, the time and attention necessary with acquiring this knowledge from his father would have been hindered as a result of the commitments that were competing for his fathers time and energy. It is likely that by age fifteen, Edmonde had been partially prepared and fashioned for a career in his family's profession, when he suffered the loss of his father from the terminal effects of Gaol fever. The following year, his mother married Sir John Peyton, a man whose military career was highly esteemed. Peyton, appears to have developed a closer relationship with Edmond's younger brother Robert,... who was groomed as a soldier and later become a Captain of a Company in the low countries. Around this time, Edmonde may have been busily engaged abroad in pursuit of his academic career at the University level.

Career

By 1583, it is known that he received his patrimony, which included extensive properties throughout Norfolk, and the manor of Castle Acre, where Edmonde dwelled and duly made his family seat. Perhaps this event is timed with his first marriage to Anne Osborne. By 1586, he became MP for Alderburgh, where he was active in mercantile affairs, "investing heavily in privatering", specifically, the building of ships (gunboats) that incorporated advances in Naval Architecture. These investments did not prove lucrative, however, and perhaps were forfeited, in part as a consequence of the Spanish invasion of 1588, where Bells' Naval assets may have been sacrificed in service to the Crown.
