Sir George Dashwood, 5th Baronet
- Sir George Dashwood, 5th Baronet
Sir George Henry Dashwood, 5th Baronet (c.1790 – 4 March 1862) was an English landowner and politician, the eldest son of Sir John Dashwood-King, 4th Baronet.
Unlike his father, a Tory who resisted the Reform Bill, George was a progressive Whig and Liberal, making their relationship somewhat cool. Sir John much preferred his estate at Halton House to that at West Wycombe Park, so George took up residence in the latter shortly after marrying Elizabeth Broadhead in 1823.
Sir John left politics in 1831, in the face of popular agitation for electoral Reform, and George stood for Parliament the following year, being returned as Member of Parliament for Buckinghamshire. He held that seat until 1835. In 1837, he was returned for the borough of Wycombe, formerly his father's seat, and remained one of its Members of Parliament until his death.
Dashwood succeeded his father in the baronetcy in 1849. He liquidated his grandfather's estates in Lincolnshire and Wales, in 1851, and used the money so raised to overhaul the estate at West Wycombe. He also sold off the contents of Halton House in 1849, and the estate itself in 1853. He was succeeded by his brother John upon his death in 1862, leaving his wife Elizabeth as life tenant of West Wycombe.
