Hide Profile

Henry Fox (1705-1774), First Lord Holland, was the son of Sir Stephen Fox, former steward of Charles II of Britain. A contemporary of William Pitt, he entered Parliament in 1735. In 1744, he created a social stir when he eloped with Lady Catherine Lennox. When Pitt became chief minister in 1757, Fox took over the office of Paymaster. He was conferred with the barony of Holland in 1763 for his work during the Peace of Paris. He resided in Holland House until his death in 1774.
