1683 Hubert Beaumont
Constituency : Eastbourne 1906-10
Hubert took Eastbourne from the Tories.
Hubert was the son of Baron Allendale , the former Liberal MP Wentorth Beaumont. He was eduated at Eton and Oxford. He stood for King's Lynn in 1895, Buckingham in 1900 and Barnard Castle in 1903. The latter by-election was a famous one where Labour's Arthur Henderson was elected. Liberal headquarters tried to persuade Hubert to withdraw and he came third.
Hubert stood down in January 1910.
He died in 1922 aged 58.
