George Fuller (British politician)

George Pargiter Fuller (8 January 1833-2 April 1927), was a British Liberal politician.

Fuller was born at Baynton, Wiltshire, the eldest surviving son of John Bird Fuller, a partner in Fuller Smith & Turner, brewers, and his wife Sophia, daughter of John Hanning. He was educated at Winchester and Christ Church, Oxford. During his time at Oxford he represented the Oxford University Cricket Club. He was a member of the Wiltshire County Council, Chairman of the Chippenham Rural District Council and of the Corsham Parish Council and School Board and a Justice of the Peace for Wiltshire. Fuller was returned to Parliament for Westbury in the 1885 general election, a seat he held until 1895. He also served as High Sheriff of Wiltshire in 1878. He inherited a share in the family brewery on his father's death in 1872. He lived at Neston Park, Corsham, Wiltshire.

Fuller married Emily Georgina Jane Hick Beach, second daughter of Sir Michael Hicks Beach, 8th Baronet, and sister of Lord St Aldwyn, in 1864. Their eldest son John also became a Liberal politician and was created a Baronet in 1910. Fuller died in April 1927, aged 94. His wife survived him by three years and died in December 1930.
