Bowood circle

Shelburne's patronage was broadly based, and not limited to this intellectual set, also called the Bowood Group. The "Shelburne circle" may have a broader reference than the inner Bowood circle. "Shelburne group" may refer to a faction of Whig Members of Parliament. Lansdowne circle, referencing Shelburne's step up in the peerage from Earl of Shelburne to Marquess of Lansdowne, may be used as a synonym of "Bowood circle". A later "Bowood circle" was that around the 3rd Marquess of Lansdowne and Nassau Senior. ==Membership==
