Walter Rice, 7th Baron Dynevor

Walter FitzUryan Rice, 7th Baron Dynevor (17 August 1873 – 8 June 1956)[1] was a British military officer, civil servant and Conservative politician.

On graduating from Oxford, he served in the part-time Royal Carmarthen Artillery for twelve years, rising to the rank of captain.

In his locality, he served as a member of Llandeilo Rural District Council representing Llandyfeisant, a very small parish which sat largely within the Dynevor Castle estate.

Throughout the inter-war years, Lord Dynevor was a key figure in Welsh Conservative politics, as well as the Carmarthenshire territorials.

Forced to resign from his offices in 1938 due to increasing deafness, Lord Dynevor was praised for his record of public service.
