Richard Winfrey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Richard Winfrey (1858-1944) was Liberal MP for South West Norfolk and Gainsborough. He was a newspaper publisher and campaigner for agricultural rights.

As Mayor of Peterborough he was perhaps the last person to read the Riot Act in August 1914 after anti-German disturbances.[1]

In 1887, Sir Richard Winfrey purchased the Spalding Guardian, a local newspaper that provided the basis for the Winfrey family's newspaper interests. In 1947, the family's newspaper titles were consolidated to form the East Midland Allied Press, now the emap media group. [2]

He was born at Long Sutton in Lincolnshire, 5 August 1858. He married Annie Lucy Pattinson in 1897 and was knighted in 1914. He died 18 April 1944 in Castor House, Castor, Peterborough.
