Historique
Henry Warburton was born in Eltham, Kent, and educated at Eton and at Trinity College, Cambridge. After graduating, he joined his family's timber business, which he directed between 1808 and 1831. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1809. Warburton served as MP for Bridport, Dorset, between 1825 and 1841, and as MP for Kendal, Cumberland, between 1843 and 1847. Whilst active in politics, he espoused several radical and reforming causes, including the repeal of the Corn Laws, the introduction of the penny post, and the abolition of timber duty.
