William

Henry Lyttelton, 3rd Baron Lyttelton MP (3

April 1782 – 30 April 1837) was an English Whig politician

from the Lyttelton family. Born on

3 April 1782, William Lyttelton was the son of William

Henry Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton, by his second marriage to

Caroline, daughter of John Bristow of Quiddenham, Norfolk. He was educated at Rugby School, then matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, on

24 October 1798 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) on 17 June 1802 and a Master of

Arts (M.A.) on 13 December 1805. A student from December 1800

until 1812 and a brilliant scholar of Greek, on 5 July 1810

he was created a Doctor of Civil Law (D.C.L.)

on the occasion of Lord

Grenville's installation of Oxford. Lyttelton unsuccessfully contested Worcestershire in March 1806, but was returned in the following year,

and represented the county until 1820 for the Whig party. His maiden speech was

made on 27 February 1807 in favour of the rejection of the Westminster

petition; and on 16 March he brought forward a motion (rejected by 46

votes) expressing regret at the substitution of the Duke of Portland's administration for Lord Grenville's. He attacked the new

ministers, especially Spencer Perceval,

for bigotry. He supported the naval expedition to Copenhagen in opposition to the bulk of his party, but voted with

them on the motion of Samuel Whitbread for

the production of papers relative to it.

Lyttelton felt the Whig jealousy of the influence of the court. In

supporting John Christian Curwen's

bill for the prevention of the sale of seats, he suggested that the Duke of York

and Albany, the late Commander-in-Chief of the

Forces, had to some extent corrupted members of parliament; and in

speaking on the budget resolutions of 1808 he declared his belief that the

influence of the prerogative had

increased. Again, on 4 May 1812, in a debate on the Royal Sinecure Offices

Bill, he said that the Prince Regent was

surrounded by favourites. Nevertheless, Lyttelton in 1819 thought that the

"revolutionary faction of the radicals" ought to be opposed. In the

same session he thought an inquiry was needed into the Peterloo massacre. Lyttelton advocated abolishing the system

of having climbing boys sweep chimneys, and was a strong opponent of the property tax. He supported Richard

Brinsley Sheridan's motion of 6 February 1810 against the standing

order for the exclusion of strangers from the house. In the same session, on 16

February, he opposed the voting of an annuity to the Duke of

Wellington. He spoke strongly against the Alien Bill in 1816 and

1818. On the death of his half-brother George

Lyttelton, 2nd Baron Lyttelton, on 12 November 1828, Lyttelton

succeeded to the title. He did not take much part in the debates of the House of Lords, but on 6 December 1831 he made an speech in

favour of the Reform Bill in the

debate on the address. He was appointed Lord-Lieutenant of

Worcestershire on 29 May 1833. Lyttelton died at the house

of John Spencer, 3rd Earl

Spencer, his brother-in-law, in Green Park, London, on 30 April 1837, aged 55.
