George Llewellen Palmer

Who was George Llewellen Palmer?

George Llewellen Palmer was a British Conservative Party politician.

In 1903-1904, Palmer was High Sheriff of Wiltshire.

At the 1918 general election he was elected as Member of Parliament for Westbury in Wiltshire, having stood as a Coalition Conservative. Palmer had previously fought the Westbury seat unsuccessfully both at the December 1910 general election and at a by-election in 1911, but in 1918 the strength of the "coalition coupon" was enough to wrest the seat by a large margin from the sitting Liberal Party MP Geoffrey Howard.

The Liberals retook Westbury at the 1922 election, and Palmer did not stand for Parliament again.
