George William Richard Fermor, 5th Earl of Pomfret
George William Richard Fermor, 5th Earl of Pomfret (3 December 1824 - 8 June 1867) was an English peer.
He was the eldest son of Thomas Fermor, 4th Earl of Pomfret, who he succeeded in 1833, inheriting Easton Neston house.[1]
He died unmarried on 8 June 1867,[2] when the earldom, barony, and baronetcy became extinct.
Easton Neston house passed to his sister's son Sir Thomas Henry Fermor-Hesketh, 6th Baronet, of Rufford in Lancashire, who then made Easton his seat and in 1935 was created Baron Hesketh.[3]
