Richard Lumley-Saunderson, 6th Earl of Scarbrough
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Lumley-Saunderson, 6th Earl of Scarbrough (16 April 1757 – 17 June 1832), styled The Honourable Richard Lumley-Saunderson until 1807, was a British peer and politician.
Scarbrough was a younger son of Richard Lumley-Saunderson, 4th Earl of Scarbrough, and Barbara, daughter of Sir George Savile, 7th Baronet and sister and heiress of Sir George Savile, 8th Baronet.[1] He inherited substantial estates (Rufford Abbey and Thornhill Hall) on the death of his maternal uncle in 1784, assuming the additional surname of Savile. When he later inherited his brother's title and estates in 1807 (and gave up his previous inheritance) he replaced the Savile name with Saunderson.
