- Frederick Cawley, 1st Baron Cawley
Frederick Cawley, 1st Baron Cawley, PC (October 9, 1850 – March 30, 1937), was a British businessman and Liberal Party politician.
Cawley was involved in the Lancashire cotton industry, which made him a wealthy man. At the 1895 general election he was elected as Member of Parliament for Prestwich, a seat he would hold until 1918.
In 1916 he was admitted to the Privy Council and appointed Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the war-time coalition of David Lloyd George. He was also appointed to the Dardanelles Commission.
Cawley had been created a Baronet, of Prestwich in the County Palatine of Lancaster, in 1906, and in 1918 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Cawley, of Prestwich in the County Palatine of Lancaster.
Family and Home
In 1876 Cawley married Elizabeth Smith. They had four sons, of which the three youngest were killed in the First World War. In 1901 Cawley acquired the estate of Berrington Hall near Leominster in Herefordshire, which had previously been in the hands of the Rodney family. This was to be the family seat until 1957, when it was handed over to the government in lieu of death duties, and it is now in the care of the National Trust. Lord Cawley died in March, 1937, aged 86. He was succeeded in the Baronetcy and Barony by his eldest and only surviving son, Robert Hugh Cawley.
