Lord Alington, 1876. Engraving from a photograph taken by Messrs. Fradelle and Marshall. Elevation to the peerage: 'Mr. Gerard Sturt, M.P. for Dorsetshire, is now Baron Alington of Critchell...Lord Alington always professed Conservatism as his political creed, and was generally a steady voting adherent of Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli; but in the course of his career he made three speeches which were remarkable for liberality on the particular question to which they referred, and were characterised by acute argument and abounding humour'. Alington was one of the private landlords specifically named in relation to the terrible conditions in the East End in the London Poverty Maps compiled by Charles Booth in the 1890s. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
