FEW gentlemen are better known in the County of Hertford than Mr. Montague Whittingham Price, of The Node, Codicote. Born in London in 1854, he is the fourth son of the late F. W. Price, Esq., Banker. He was educated privately.
Few pursuits in life are more interesting or elevating than horticulture, for what can be more lovely than Nature's finest and most beautiful work a flower? A garden beautified by clusters of rare and lovely blooms can be nothing but a perpetual delight to the lover of Nature, there must indeed be something seriously lacking in the character of a man who can pass through such a spot without feeling that it is good to be alive, and to be able to gaze upon God's handiwork.
To horticulture Mr. Price has always devoted a good deal of time. Though fond of sport, Mr. Price by no means loses sight of the stern realities of life, nor shirks his share in the work of the County. He is a Deputy-Lieutenant for the County of Hertford, whilst since the day of its foundation he has filled the chair at the meetings of the Knebworth Parish Council. He is also Chairman of the Codicote Schools; Churchwarden at Knebworth Parish Church; a Governor of the Hertfordshire Convalescent Homes.
A staunch Conservative, Chairman of the Knebworth Division of the Conservative and Liberal Unionist Association, he is a member of the Wellington Club, London. Mr. Price married in 1892 Miss Clementina Villiers, the daughter of Colonel Ernest Villiers, A.D.C.
