George Ormerod (20 October 1785 – 9 October 1873) was an English antiquary and historian. Amongst his writings was a major account of the history of Cheshire, a county in North West England. ==Biography== George Ormerod was born in Manchester and educated first privately, then briefly at the King's School, Chester, before continuing his education privately again under Rev Thomas Bancroft, vicar of Bolton. He matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford, in 1803, graduated BA in 1806 and received the honorary degree of MA in 1807. In 1806, when he came of age, he inherited extensive estates in Tyldesley and south Lancashire. He married Sarah Latham, the daughter of a doctor in Sandbach in 1808. Following their marriage they first lived in Rawtenstall but moved to Great Missenden the following year.〔 In 1810 he was the tenant at Damhouse in Astley. By this time he had become involved with research into the history of Cheshire and to make this task easier he bought Chorlton House and estate, which was four miles from Chester.〔 He lived in this house from 1811 to 1823. When this historical work was completed he moved to Gloucestershire, buying the Barnesville estate at Sedbury which he renamed Sedbury Park. He lived there from 1828 until his death. While there, he was appointed as a Justice of the Peace and he served as Deputy Lieutenant for Gloucestershire in 1861. He died at Sedbury Park and was buried nearby at Tidenham.〔 ()〕
