George
Charles Henry Victor Paget, 7th Marquess of 1922 – 13 July 2013), styled Earl of Uxbridge until
1947, was a British peer. He was the
son of Charles
Paget, 6th Marquess of Anglesey and Lady Victoria Manners, the
eldest daughter of the 8th Duke of Rutland,
and was baptised with George V and Mary of Teck as his godparents. He was the brother
of Lady Rose McLaren and
the nephew of Lady Diana Cooper. He was
educated at Wixenford School and Eton College. He gained the rank of major in the service
of the Royal Horse Guards (Blues)
and fought in the Second World War. He used
the courtesy title of Earl of Uxbridge until he succeeded to
the marquessate in 1947. He held the office of Deputy Lieutenant of
Anglesey in 1960, Vice-Lieutenant of Anglesey between 1960 and
1983 and Lord Lieutenant of Gwynedd between
1983 and 1989. He was the honorary president of the Crimean War Research
Society. Lord Anglesey wrote the books The Capel Letters
1814–1817 (1955), consisting of the edited correspondence between the
first Marquess’s sister in England and his nieces; One Leg: The Life
and Letters of 1st Marquess of Anglesey (1961), a biography of his
ancestor; Sergeant Pearman's Memoirs (1968); and A
History of the British Cavalry, Volumes I–VIII, which has been described as
"the definitive history" of this arm. The Royal United Services Institute for Defence Studies awarded
him the Chesney Gold Medal for it in 1996. Lord Anglesey presented the historic
family home, Plas Newydd on the
island of Anglesey, to the National Trust in 1976, with 169 acres of surrounding
estate, and it has been open to the public since July 1 of that year. Lord
Anglesey died, aged 90, on 13 July 2013. His funeral was arranged as a private
family cremation, followed by a private committal service at St Edwen's Church,
Llanedwen. On 14 June 2014, a public memorial service was held for
him in Bangor Cathedral.
