St George Henry Lowther, 4th Earl of Lonsdale (4 October 1855 – 8 February 1882) was a British nobleman, the eldest son of Henry Lowther, 3rd Earl of Lonsdale and Emily Caulfeild. From 1872 until his accession in 1876, he was styled Viscount Lowther.
He married the Hon. Constance Gwladys Herbert, daughter of Sidney Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Lea, on 6 July 1878. They had one daughter:[1]
- Lady Gladys Mary Juliet Lowther (9 April 1881 – 23 September 1965), married Sir Robert Duff, 2nd Baronet (d. 1914) on 9 June 1903, married Keith Trevor on 12 June 1919, divorced 1926.
His racehorse Pilgrimage won both the 1,000 Guineas and the 2,000 Guineas in 1878. He suffered from illness, possibly exacerbated from alcoholism, and died relatively young in 1882.[2] He was succeeded in the earldom by his younger brother, Hugh.
