Biography

William Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland (1738–1809), twice Prime Minister and leader who sought to steady the kingdom during the turmoil of the French Revolutionary Wars, balanced the demands of high politics with a commitment to the landed responsibilities of his great house.

He passed his final days near Marylebone, and the stone in St. Marylebone Churchyard stands as a testament to a statesman who guided the realm with both tradition and resolve.
