Herbert Mackworth-Praed
Sir Herbert Bulkley Mackworth-Praed, 1st Baronet DL, JP (2 May 1841 – 21 November 1921), was a British landowner, magistrate, banker, benefactor and Conservative politician.
Mackworth-Praed was the second son of Bulkley John Mackworth-Praed, JP, of Owsden Hall, Suffolk, by his second wife Elizabeth FitzPatrick, eldest daughter of Patrick Persse FitzPatrick. His uncle was the poet Winthrop Mackworth Praed.
He was educated at Harrow.[1] He was returned to Parliament for Colchester in 1874, a seat he held until 1880.[2] He was also a Deputy Lieutenant and Justice of the Peace for Suffolk and served as High Sheriff of Suffolk in 1886.[1] In 1905 he was created a baronet, of Owsden Hall in the Parish of Owsden and County of Suffolk.[3] The following year he was given Royal licence to continue the use of the surname Praed in addition to that of Mackworth.[4]
Mackworth-Praed died in November 1921, aged 80, and the baronetcy became extinct.
