Richard Bulkeley, 5th Viscount Bulkeley

On his father's death on 4 June 1724, he succeeded to the family estate at Baron Hill, and the Irish peerage as Viscount Bulkeley.

In 1725 he was appointed Chamberlain of North Wales and constable of Beaumaris castle and held the posts for the rest of his life.

[2] Bulkeley was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for Beaumaris at a by-election on 25 March 1730.

A Tory like his father, he voted with consistency against the Whig government of Robert Walpole.

He died without issue, aged 31, on 15 March 1739, and was succeeded by his brother James.
