Henry Bathurst, 3rd Earl Bathurst, (22 May 1762 – 27 July 1834) was a High Tory, High Church Pittite.
For thirty years an MP and whence ennobled one of the government's main stalwarts on colonial policy.
Not a good speaker in debates, he was nevertheless a competent administrator.
If rather dull, he remained intensely loyal and at the centre of government for longer than all his contemporaries.
A personal friend of William Pitt the Younger, he became a broker of deals across cabinet factions during the volatile Napoleonic era.
After the Napoleonic Wars, Bathurst was on the 'conservative' wing of the Tory party.
He came round towards arbitrating on a less than harsh colonial regime.
