George Glyn, 1st Baron Wolverton

The Wolvertons lived at the manor house in Iwerne Minster, two miles south of Fontmell, in Dorset.

Glyn's bank served as one of the London agents for the provincial government of Canada, and in 1852 he was a promoter of the Grand Trunk Railway.

A resolution was carried unanimously, at that meeting, stating that the society should be called the Railway Benevolent Institution.

[2] Apart from his business career Glyn also represented Kendal in the House of Commons from 1847 to 1868 as a Liberal yet he never fought an election.

Lord Wolverton died in July 1873, aged 76, and was succeeded in the barony by his eldest son George Grenfell Glyn.
