He was the son of Henry Portman, and ultimately a descendant of the Tudor landowner Sir William Portman. Edward continued his father's work developing the family lands in London into the Portman Estate. He also sat as Member of Parliament for Boroughbridge between 1802 and 1806[1] and for Dorset between 1806 and 1823.[2]
