Sackville Lane-Fox
Sackville Walter Lane-Fox (24 March 1797 – 18 August 1874), was a British Conservative Party politician.
Background
Lane-Fox was the son of James Fox-Lane, of Bramham Park, West Yorkshire, by the Honourable Mary Lucy, daughter of George Pitt, 1st Baron Rivers. He was the brother of George Lane-Fox and the uncle of Augustus Pitt Rivers.[1]
Political career
Lane-Fox was returned to parliament as one of two representatives for Helston in 1831. He became the sole representative after the 'Great' or 'First' Reform Act of that year reduced the low-electorate constituency to one seat. He lost the seat in 1835,[2] and remained out of the House of Commons until 1840, when he was returned for Beverley in East Yorkshire.[3] He lost the seat the following year and was re-elected to the Commons the year after as one of two MPs for Ipswich, Suffolk.[4] In 1847 he was once again elected for Beverley, a seat he held until 1852.[3]
Family
Lane-Fox married Lady Charlotte Mary Anne Georgiana Osborne, daughter of George Osborne, 6th Duke of Leeds, in 1826. She died in January 1836, aged 44. They had five children:
- Hon. Elizabeth Catherine (died 29 October 1879, aged 50) married Rev. R W Cracroft, rector of Harrington, Lincolnshire.[5]
- Hon. Lora Mary (died 12 February 1908)
- Hon. Sackville George (14 September 1827 – 24 August 1888) succeeded his maternal uncle the Duke of Leeds as 12th Baron Conyers in 1859.[1]
- Hon. Charles Pierrepont Darcy (25 August 1830 – 13 September 1874), wounded at the Battle of Alma while an officer in the Crimean war
- Hon. Marcia Frederica Isabella[5]
The family received rents of land and buildings (the leases commencing between 1836 and 1843) for the duration of the lives of three of Lane-Fox's children, assigned by his cousin Francis D'Arcy-Osborne, 7th Duke of Leeds, mainly in the Cornish parishes of Breage, Camborne, Germoe, Ludgvan, St Erth and Wendron — which brought annual income of c. £5,000 (equivalent to £491,000 in 2016). On Elizabeth's death these freehold reversions (or near-equivalents) reverted to the ownership of the then-heir of the senior branch, George Osborne, 9th Duke of Leeds.[5]
