He was a member of a large patrician English family of military and political figures that reached back in time to Edward the Confessor. One ancestor Sir Richard Temple served with the Duke of Marlborough and every generation of the Temple family had members who pursued military careers. Edwyn Temple was no exception. Educated at Rugby School he entered the military services in 1853. During a brief period in Italy a relative Princess Pondalfina recognised his ability and engaged a tutor to teach him the rudiments of painting. Temple was ensigned in 1854 and became a Captain in the 55th Foot Westmoreland Regiment in 1858. He later served in the Crimea and in India from 1864 to 1866. By that time he had married and the first of a family of nine children had been born. It was more than nine years after retiring from the army that he decided to emigrate with his wife and family to New Zealand arriving in Lyttelton on 25 October 1879. Within a very short time of his arrival he was established and developed a network of ex-military friends in Christchurch. Some of these were among the group that got together in June 1880 to form the Canterbury Society of Arts. Temple's role in its formation cannot be overstated and in acknowledgment of this he was elected to the key role of Secretary / Treasurer of the Society. In 1882 he moved to Geraldine to a property 'Castlewood' which he had purchased the previous year. There he lived and farmed for almost 3 decades a Justice of the Peace from 1883 but mostly concentrating on painting before retiring to live in Timaru in the 1900s.
