The late peer was formerly in the House of Commons, having succeeded his father as one of the representatives of the Western Division of Worcestershire in the autumn of 1853, which constituency he represented up to his removal to the Upper House of Parliament. The late Earl, who was unmarried, is succeeded in the earldom and large family estates in Worcestershire by his only brother, the Hon. Frederick Lygon, M.P.
--- Served in the Life Guards in 1851 with Lord Eliot. Appears on the 1851 Census this way.
