SHEFFIELD, JOHN BAKER HOLROYD, 1ST EARL

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 822 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SHEFFIELD, JOHN BAKER HOLROYD, 1ST EARL of (1735-I&21), English politician, came of a Yorkshire family, a branch of which had settled in Ireland. He inherited considerable wealth, and in 1769 bought Sheffield Place in Sussex from Lord de la Warr. Having served in the army he entered the
House
  of Commons in 178o, and in that year was prominent against Lord George Gordon and the rioters. In 1783 he was created an Irish peer as Baron Sheffield of
Roscommon
 , a barony of the United Kingdom (Sheffield of Sheffield, Yorks) being added in 1802. In 1816 he was created Viscount Pevensey and
earl
  of Sheffield. He was a
great
  authority on farming, and in 18o3 he was made president of the Board of Agriculture; but he is chiefly remembered as the friend of Gibbon (q.v.), whose works he afterwards edited. His son and grandson succeeded as 2nd and 3rd earls, the latter (18321909) being a well-known patron of cricket, at whose death the earldom became
extinct
 . The Irish barony, however, under a
special
 
remainder
 , passed to the 4th baron
Stanley
  of Alderley, who thus became Baron Sheffield of
Roscommon
 .
