    Why did Charles Hanbury -Tracy, later 4th Lord Sudeley, sit in the House of Commons as a Liberal or Whig?In his own private memorandum on representation in Montgomeryshire he said all the small farmers were Nonconformists, and a Tory candidate would stand little chance because he would be opposed to Disestablishment of the Welsh Church.Whiggery, however, was also in the tradition of Charles Hanbury- Tracy's family.Before his elevation to the peerage 1st.Lord Sudeley had sat in the House of Commons as Whig MP for Tewkesbury.
