Felix Cobbold
Felix Thornley Cobbold (8 September 1841 – 6 December 1909)[1] was a British barrister and Liberal Party politician.
Cobbold was the son of John Cobbold, Member of Parliament for Ipswich, and his wife Lucy, daughter of Reverend Henry Patteson. John Cobbold, Thomas Cobbold and Nathaniel Cobbold, grandfather of Cameron Cobbold, 1st Baron Cobbold, were his elder brothers. He was educated at King's College, Cambridge, and later became a senior fellow of this college.[2] Cobbold also sat as Member of Parliament for Stowmarket in Suffolk between 1885 and 1886, and for Ipswich between 1906 and his death. In 1895 he presented Christchurch Mansion to the town of Ipswich as part of an arrangement to preserve the mansion and surrounding Christchurch Park from development.[3] He also bequeathed Gippeswyk Park to Ipswich. Cobbold died in December 1909, aged 68.
