Frederick Walker Cornewall (13 April 1752 – 28 April 1783) was an English member of parliament. He was born in Ludlow on 13 April 1752, the eldest surviving son of Captain Frederick Cornewall and Mary Herbert, and went to school at Eton College. In 1770, aged 18, he was admitted as a Pensioner on 17 May and as a Fellow-commoner on 21 October to St John's College, Cambridge. He did not graduate, but was admitted to Lincoln's Inn on 19 May 1773 and called to the bar in 1788. On 26 September 1776, probably with the patronage of Lord Powis, he was elected as a Tory MP for Leominster.〔 In 1780, he became Bailiff of Ludlow, and was elected to represent that town in the general election of that year.〔 When Francis Walker of Ferney Hall (a cousin of Frederick's mother) died without a direct heir, he left the bulk of his estate to Cornewall on condition that he add the name of Walker to his own.〔 This he did, becoming Frederick Walker Cornewall on 21 July 1781.〔 However he died before coming into possession of his new estates, so the inheritance passed to his younger brother, who became Folliott Herbert Walker Cornewall. Frederick Cornewall died, unmarried, on . He is buried in the family tomb in Diddlebury.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frederick Cornewall (1752–1783)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
