A man of immense energy, Johnny threw himself into estate and county affairs. His father having renovated the house itself, Johnny entered into the spirit of mid-century 'model farming' borrowing heavily to enlarge the estate to 10,500 acres and to undertake the improvement of his farms, particularly sub-soil drainage. From 1859 he began to show the pedigree herd of Hereford Cattle founded by his father in 1819, winning over 330 prizes nationally, and co-founded the Hereford Herd Book Society. He sat on the Council of the Royal Agricultural Society of England and was made Vice-President in 1898 ('for age, not merit or intellect,' he wrote to his wife). He was also Joint Master of the North Herefordshire Hunt, and founder of the Herefordshire Philharmonic Society (see Lot 99), as well as Chairman of the Stewards of Hereford's Three Choirs Festival. He enjoyed fishing, shooting and cricket and was a noted horticulturalist. He served as Chief Steward of Leominster, County Councillor and Alderman, High Sheriff of Herefordshire in 1862, and as Lord Lieutenant of Herefordshire 1902-1904.
