Frederick James Marquis, 1st Earl of Woolton (1883–1964) was a British businessman and politician.
Woolton retained this position when Winston Churchill became Prime Minister the following month and was faced with the task of overseeing rationing due to wartime shortages.
Under Woolton many sweeping reforms were carried out and when the Conservatives returned to government in 1951, Woolton served in the Cabinet for the next four years.
Woolton then passed to Isaac Green, through his daughter to her son Bamber Gascoyne of Childwall (MP for Liverpool 1780-96), and are presently owned by the Marquis of Salisbury.
Woolton today must surely be the most desirable district to reside, the area being surrounded by the parklands of Calderstones, Beechley, Allerton Tower, Woolton Wood, Black Wood, Clarke Gardens, Eric Hardy Nature Reserve, Camp Hill, Childwall Woods, Halewood Triangle Country Park, Reynolds Park, and the golf courses of Woolton, Netherley and Allerton.
The 'jewel in the crown' of Woolton is, without question, Woolton Hall, a Grade I listed building that was saved from demolition and now stands as the finest example of Robert Adam's work in the north of England.
