From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the nineteenth-century British politician and statesman, see Sidney Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Lea.

Sir Sidney Herbert, 1st Baronet (29 Jul 1890 – 22 March 1939) was a British Conservative politician and Member of Parliament for Scarborough and Whitby from 1922 until he took the Chiltern Hundreds in 1931. He returned to Parliament for the Westminster Abbey constituency the following year, a seat he held until his death. The baronetcy of Boyton in the County of Wiltshire was created for him in 1936, a title which became extinct upon his death.

He was the son of the Hon. Sir Michael Herbert (1857–1904) (son of Sidney Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Lea, of the Herberts of Wilton), sometime British Ambassador to the USA, by Lelia ('Belle'), daughter of Richard Wilson, of Kentucky.
