Ivor Guest, 1st Baron Wimborne
- Ivor Guest, 1st Baron Wimborne
Ivor Bertie Guest, 1st Baron Wimborne (29 August 1835 –22 February 1914) was a Welsh industrialist.
Sir Ivor Bertie Guest was born at Dowlais, near Merthyr Tydfil, the son of Lady Charlotte Guest, translator of the "Mabinogion", and Sir John Josiah Guest, owner of the world's largest iron foundry. Educated at Harrow School in Middlesex, he went on to gain a Master of Arts degree from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1856.
The 1st Baron married Lady Cornelia Henrietta Maria Spencer-Churchill, daughter of John Spencer-Churchill, 7th Duke of Marlborough, and was thus an uncle-by-marriage of Sir Winston Churchill. His middle name (Bertie) was from his mother's family, the Earls of Abingdon, descended from a Tudor courtier who married the Dowager Duchess of Suffolk, and herself "suo jure" Baroness Willoughby de Eresby.
He was regarded as a snob and social climber so much so that he was lampooned in " Vanity Fair" as "the paying Guest" [ David Cannadine "The Aristocratic Adventurer" Penguin 2003 p 15 ]
He held the office of High Sheriff of Glamorgan in 1862. He was the mayor of Poole from 1896-1897.
He died at the age of 78 at Canford Manor in Dorset. His will was probated in April 1914, provisionally at £250,000.
The 1st Baron Wimborne is the ancestor of the Viscounts Wimborne.
