Sir Basil Edward Nield (7 May 1903 – 4 December 1996) was a British judge and Conservative Party politician.
[1] Following the death in 1940 of Sir Charles Cayzer, the Member of Parliament (MP) for the City of Chester, Nield was elected in a by-election to take his seat in the House of Commons.
He held the seat through four subsequent general elections before his appointment as Recorder of Manchester led to the by-election in 1956.
According to Graeme Williams, he had the distinction of serving in every Assize town in England & Wales, and published an account of these in 1972 in his book Farewell To The Assizes.
