William Carr (14 June 1862 – 28 January 1925) was a British biographer, historian, magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant for Norfolk, England.
In 1886, Carr married Margaret, eldest daughter of James Franck Bright, Master of University College.
To the Dictionary of National Biography he was a contributor, and later in life became a connoisseur especially of silver, furniture, pictures and Greek coins.
[1] His main interest was primarily in the land, managing his own estates, and he was a practical farmer of experience in both Yorkshire and Norfolk.
In poor health, Carr was advised to give up his county work, but the end came unexpectedly when he died at Ditchingham Hall, Norfolk on 28 January 1925.
