George Bethell

George Richard Bethell (March 1849 – 3 December 1919) was a Royal Navy officer and Conservative politician.

[2] He fell out with his constituents over his hostility to the government's South African policy, and the Holderness Conservative Association in February 1900 voted that he had "alienated the confidence of the party which returned him at the last election, and that it is impossible to accord him their support in the future.

On 28 June 1919, he was appointed a deputy lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire,[4] but died towards the end of the year.

He lived at Rise Park, Hull, and 43, Curzon Street, London and in 1893 he acquired Sigglesthorne Hall, Holderness.
