- Arthur Foljambe, 2nd Earl of Liverpool
Arthur William de Brito Savile Foljambe, 2nd Earl of Liverpool GCB GCMG GBE MVO PC (27 May, 1870–15 May, 1941), known as Viscount Hawkesbury from 1905 to 1907, was a British Liberal politician and the first Governor-General of New Zealand.
Born at Compton Place, Eastbourne, Liverpool was the eldest son of Cecil Foljambe, 1st Earl of Liverpool by his first wife Louisa Howard, daughter of Frederick John Howard. On his mother's side he descended from Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington, the architect. Liverpool succeeded his father in the earldom in 1907 and took his seat in the House of Lords on the Liberal benches. In July 1909 he was appointed Comptroller of the Household in the Liberal administration of H.H. Asquith, a post he held until 1912. The latter year he was appointed Governor of New Zealand. In 1917 the office was raised in dignity to that of Governor-General of New Zealand. The same year Liverpool was also admitted to the Privy Council. He retired as Governor-General in 1920 and was appointed Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath (GCB) on 7 October 1920.
Lord Liverpool married Hon. Annette Louise Monck, daughter of Henry Monck, 5th Viscount Monck, in 1897. They had no children. He died at his home Cranwick Hall near Lincoln in May 1941, aged 70, and was succeeded in his titles by his half-brother Gerald Foljambe. During World War I, Foljambe conferred his title upon a New Zealand infantry regiment. The New Zealand Rifle Brigade (Earl of Liverpool's Own) was formed in 1915, served with the New Zealand Division during the war and was disbanded in 1919.
