Seller's Description

zx772  Antique postcard from circa 110+ years ago of Sir Francis Edwards historic Liberal MP and Baronet - the card has him in Walford but this I cannot validate even though it states this (a historian will know) - Francis Edwards was a supporter of the Disestablishment of the Church in Wales, of which he was a member. I attach his history below.  The postcard is used lightly aged but otherwise mint condition and has great character.

Francis Edwards was elected Liberal Member of Parliament for Radnorshire in 1892. Hewas a determined Liberal and a supporter of the Disestablishment of the Church in Wales, of which he was a member. In 1894, Edwards joined with David Lloyd George, David Alfred Thomas, and Herbert Lewis in resigning the Liberal Whip in protest at the delay of the Government of Lord Rosebery in introducing a Welsh Disestablishment measure. He was a relative of A. G. Edwards, Bishop of St Asaph and first Archbishop of Wales. Defeated in 1895, Edwards was to play no part in the struggle to unite Welsh Liberalism under the auspices of Cymru Fydd. Edwards appears to have been viewed as under the 'baleful' influence of David Alfred Thomas by Lloyd George and Herbert Lewis. In 1898, he was High Sheriff of the county. In 1900, Edwards fought Radnorshire on a platform of opposition to the Boer War and returned to parliament. He was created baronet of Knighton in the County of Radnor on 25 July 1907.
