About Sir William Leveson-Gower, 4th Baronet
Sir William Leveson-Gower, 4th Baronet was an English landowner and politician from Yorkshire. He added the surname Leveson to his own in 1668, when he inherited the Trentham and Lilleshall estates of his maternal great-uncle, Sir Richard Leveson, making him a major landowner and the progenitor of the Leveson-Gower family. He was a member of several parliaments. Although he began as an enthusiastic supporter of the Court of Charles II, he became noted for his unremitting support for the Exclusion Bills.
