Topic: Baron Wigg


  
  George Wigg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wigg served in the British Army for almost all his career up to his election as Member of Parliament for Dudley in 1945.
According to veteran Press Association reporter Chris Moncrieff, Wigg was unpopular with Labour MPs [1] but managed mischievously to use procedure to place the Profumo affair on the record in Parliament and led the pursuit of Profumo which resulted in his resignation.
Wigg was already known for passing on gossip to Labour leader Harold Wilson, and when Labour won the 1964 election Wilson appointed Wigg as Paymaster-General.

 Guardian | John Profumo
In the reality of the early 1960s, he was the wealthy playboy-dilettante secretary of state for war who almost destroyed Harold Macmillan's Conservative government by the discovery of his dalliance with the dancer and call-girl Christine Keeler, who was also said to be sleeping with the Soviet naval attaché Evegeny Ivanov.
In January 1963, he informed George Wigg, Harold Wilson's intelligence chief, that Ward's protégé Christine Keeler, previously the girlfriend of property speculator Peter Rachman, had had a four-month affair with Profumo after a brief fling with the Soviet naval attache Evegeny Ivanov.
As "the last surviving Tory MP to have voted against the Government in that fateful division on May 8 1940, we publicly salute the gallant and honourable gentleman to whom this country owes a huge debt of gratitude".

 Crystal Palace luxury display cases. Curio Cabinets for Swarovski Crystal in 24K goldplated
The house was built between 1852 and 1854 by Baron Mayer de Rothschild who needed a house close to London and in close proximity to other Rothschild homes at Tring in Hertfordshire, Ascott, Aston Clinton and later Waddesdon Manor and Halton House.
The plans for the new mansion begun in 1852 imitated Wollaton Hall in Nottingham; they were drawn by the well known architect Joseph Paxton, famous for The Crystal Palace (see Plans and interiors of Mentmore).
The old manor house, with its later Georgian facade, which had been built by the Wigg family in the 16th century, became known as the 'Garden House' and became the home of the Rothschild's head gardener; later it became the Estate Office.
