George Parker, 7th Earl of Macclesfield

George Loveden William Henry Parker, 7th Earl of Macclesfield (24 May 1888 – 20 September 1975), of Shirburn Castle, Oxfordshire, was a British peer and landowner.

On 24 July 1896, at the age of eight, Parker succeeded his grandfather as Earl of Macclesfield, a title he was to hold for seventy-nine years.

The next year, his mother married secondly Captain L. W. Matthews, of the 5th Dragoon Guards, providing the young earl with a stepfather.

[2][3] Whereas his grandfather's public life had been principally in national affairs, Macclesfield was more concerned with those of his native county.

[2] He died on 20 September 1975 and was succeeded by his son, Viscount Parker.
