George Fox-Lane, 1st Baron Bingley

George Fox-Lane, 1st Baron Bingley

George Lane-Fox, 1st Baron Bingley (circa 1697 – 22 February 1773) was a British peer and Tory politician.

Born George Fox, he was the first son and heir of Henry Fox and his second wife, Hon. Frances "née" Lane, the daughter of George Lane, 1st Viscount Lanesborough. From 1734 to 1741, he was Member of Parliament for Hindon and then for the City of York from 1742 to 1761. In 1750, he took the additional name of Lane by an Act of Parliament in 1750, on succeeding to the estates of his maternal half-uncle, James Lane, 2nd Viscount Lanesborough. On 12 July 1731, he had married Hon. Harriet Benson (c.1705-1771), the only child of Robert Benson, 1st Baron Bingley; their only child was Robert Lane Lane-Fox (died 1768).

On 13 May 1762, Lane-Fox's father-in-law's extinct title was re-created, when he was created Baron Bingley, of Bingley in the County of York, with remainder only to his heirs male with his wife, Harriet. As his only son died in 1768 and his wife in 1771, the title became extinct on his own death in 1773.
