(XXXI)SIR HENRY SOMERVILLE BOYNTON, 11th BART., son of Sir Henry, 10th Baronet, was born 23rd June, 1844, and succeeded his father in 1869. He was educated at Magdalene College, Cambridge, was a Magistrate for the East Riding of the County of York, and was a great sportsman and naturalist. Many specimens of the chase are preserved at Burton Agnes, where until recently there were several acres covered with bird cages containing rare birds spending their lives in luxurious captivity; besides this large aviary there used to be a great number of stuffed birds.[1] This wonderful display of birds, etc., was the result of Sir Henry's love of natural history. Sir Henry married 27th July, 1876, Mildred Augusta, daughter of the Rev. Thomas Bradley Paget,[2] Vicar of Welton, Co. York, and Canon of York Minster, and by her had an only daughter—
