Bewdley (UK Parliament constituency)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bewdley was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1605 until 1950. It was then absorbed into the Kidderminster seat, which in 1983 was itself succeeded by the Wyre Forest constituency.
Alfred Baldwin was elected as MP for Bewdley in Worcestershire in 1892, holding the seat until his death, on 13 February 1908. He was succeeded by his son, Stanley Baldwin, who later became Prime Minister.
