Edmund Lamb

Edmund George Lamb MA FCS FRGS (8 July 1863 – 3 January 1925) was an English landowner, colliery proprietor, and radical Liberal Party politician.

He was the son of Richard Westbrook Lamb JP DL of West Denton, Northumberland and Georgiana Eaton of Ketton Hall, Rutland.

[8] He decided to fight the post-war general election of December 1918 at Leominster in an attempt to regain his old seat.

His task had been made difficult firstly when the Lloyd George led Coalition Government chose to endorse his Unionist opponent.

It was further handicapped by the intervention of another Liberal standing as an 'Agriculture' candidate, backed by the Herefordshire Farmers Union who advocated support for Lloyd George.
