Bred with all the lack of self-consciousness that characterized the old landed families, Percy Wyndham himself stood out as original among the individualistic aristocracy of his day and even among his own notably eccentric family. He was the younger but favourite and indulged son of the 1st Lord Leconfield; he had early been able to bend life to his will and he adopted a style of life which, unexceptional in his youth, became increasingly out of step with the times. Even his clothes, though immaculate, were quite unlike those worn by his contemporaries. He had found a type of trousers and jacket that he liked and saw no reason for wearing any other kind.
His conversation was punctuated with expletives and blasphemies in a way commonplace in his young days but remarkable in the more genteel climate of the late nineteenth century. He was fortunate to be married to Madeline Campbell, by whom he became the father of five children,
all born at 44 Belgrave Square in London. Three of their children ---Mary, George and Pamela---were members of the Souls' circle.
