James Banks Stanhope (13 May 1821 – 18 January 1904)[1] was a British Conservative Party politician.
Family
[edit]Stanhope was the son of former MP and British Army officer James Hamilton Stanhope and Lady Frederica-Louisa Murray, daughter of David William Murray, 3rd Earl of Mansfield.[2] his father was the youngest son of Charles Stanhope, 3rd Earl Stanhope.
Revesby Abbey
[edit]
Stanhope inherited Revesby Abbey in 1823 from his father but did not succeed to the estate until 1842, however, as he was a minor. By the time he succeeded to the estate, it had fallen into disrepair and had been emptied.[3]
In 1843, he commissioned Scottish architect William Burn to redesign the new abbey in a mixture of Jacobean and Elizabethan, also known as Jacobethan. The building was demolished in 1844, with its materials sold at auction, to make way for the abbey's third incarnation.[4][3]
During this period, new screen gates and a lodge were added on the south boundary. The estate was then completed in 1846 and, following financial losses from the Great Depression of British Agriculture, his estate generated an income of £13,000 a year.[5]
The estate was passed to Stanhope's elected heir, Edward Stanhope.[3]
Political career
[edit]He was elected MP for North Lincolnshire in 1852 and held the seat until he stood down in 1868.[6]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
