Cecil Hanbury

Sir Cecil Hanbury (10 March 1871 – 10 June 1937) was a British Conservative Party politician, the son of Sir Thomas Hanbury and brother of Lady Hilda Currie.

Hanbury was educated at Fettes College and Trinity College, Cambridge, and for most of his working life was a partner in Ward, Hanbury & Company, china merchants in London and Shanghai. He was elected at the 1924 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for the Northern division of Dorset, having unsuccessfully contested the seat at both the 1922 and 1923 elections. Hanbury was re-elected at the next three general elections, and died in office in 1937, aged 66. After his death a memorial plaque was erected in La Mortola, Ventimiglia, where his father owned an estate.
