Statesmen - Lord Rockingham

Grosvenor Square, Mayfair Previous page: Statesmen - Lord Chancellor Hardwicke

Two other later Georgian statesmen are connected with the Square. One, Lord Rockingham, who married Miss Bright of Golden Square, "was one of those ornaments of the English Senate," to quote the historian of the Georges, "for the benefit of whose biographers the adjective 'amiable' seems especially to have been invented," and who lived in Grosvenor Square until his death in 1782.
