Rowland Hunt

The Lord of the Manor of Baschurch in Shropshire,[1] he sat in the House of Commons from 1903 to 1918 as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ludlow.

[2] Born at Market Harborough, Leicestershire,[3] Hunt was the son of Rowland Hunt (1828-1878), of Boreatton Hall, Baschurch, Shropshire and his wife Florence Marianne, daughter of Richard B. Humfrey, of Kibworth Hall, Leicestershire, and Stoke Albany House, Northamptonshire.

[1][7] Robert Jasper More, the Liberal Unionist MP for Ludlow, died in November 1903.

"[11]Hunt was also antisemitic, believing a Jewish plutocracy was secretly conspiring to subvert political life.

[12] In local government, Hunt was one of the founder members of Shropshire County Council in 1889.
