Lord Henry Lennox

Lord Henry Lennox

Lord Henry George Charles Gordon-Lennox (2 November 1821 – 29 August 1886) was an English Conservative politician and close friend of Benjamin Disraeli.

Lennox was the third son of Charles Gordon-Lennox, 5th Duke of Richmond. He entered the House of Commons in 1846 as a Member of Parliament for Chichester, in Sussex. He represented this constituency until 1885, when he was defeated in Partick. Lennox held office in every Conservative government between 1852 and 1880. He was a Junior Lord of the Treasury in the first two short-lived governments of the Earl of Derby before becoming First Secretary of the Admiralty in Derby's last government (1866–1868). He served as First Commissioner of Works in Disraeli's second government from 1874 until 1876.
