Biography
George Sackville-West, 5th Earl De La Warr, served his nation both in Parliament and in local affairs, carrying the responsibilities of his title with a dignified temperance that respected the Church of St Michael and All Angels at Withyham.
His political life was matched by a personal devotion to the rural communities he represented, and the church still echoes with prayers offered in gratitude for his measured leadership and benevolent influence.
