OBITUARY
SIR GEORGE WILLS
MUNIFICENT GIFTS TO BRISTOL
Sir George Wills, Bt., president of the Imperial Tobacco Company and a munificent benefactor
to Bristol, and especially Bristol University, died last night at his residence, Burwalls,
Leigh Woods, at the age of 74.
George Alfred Wills was the head of the eminent Bristol family which has received in quite
recent times a peerage (Winterstoke) and four baronetcies. The eldest son of Mr. Henry Overton
Wills, he was born on June 3, 1854, was educated at Mill Hill School, and joined in 1874
the family business of W. D. and H. O. Wills, tobacco manufacturers, of Bristol, of which he
became managing director. When it was taken over with other firms in 1901 by the Imperial
Tobacco Company of Great Britain and Ireland, which was formed for that purpose, he was made
deputy-chairman. He succeeded his cousin, the late Lord Winterstoke, as chairman of the Imperial
Tobacco Company in 1911, and retired in 1924. The company made great progress under
his control, and in recognition of his services the directors invited him to accept the honorary
title of president. He was also a director of the Great Western Railway. He was sheriff
of Bristol in 1899-1900.
Sir George Wills - he was created a baronet in 1923 - maintained the tradition of his family
for munificent public benefactions. To the new Bristol University, of which his father
was the first Chancellor and the practical founder, he presented two sums of £110,000 and £25,000
in 1924 and 1926 for the erection of a residential hall for men students on the property
of Downside, adjoining Durdham Down. This was a memorial to his late brother, Mr. H. M.
Wills who originally bought the Downside estate and presented it to the University. He was
an active and able chairman of the council, and pro-Chancellor of the University, which made
him Hon. LL.D.; he was also hon.. D.C.L. of Oxford. Sir George and his brother presented
as a memorial to their father, at a cost of over £500,000, the new main building of the University,
opened by the King in 1925, and he gave £25,000 to the Bristol Corporation for the enlargement
of the Museum and Art Gallery. He gave £6,000 to Bristol Cathedral for new vestries
and a choir practice room, and to the diocese of Bath and Wells - the Bishop is his son-in-law
- he gave £5,000 and subsequently £20,000 for increasing clergy stipends. He presented
Leigh Woods, on the banks of the Avon, to the National Trust, and he was president of the Bristol
General Hospital, to which he made many gifts. In 1921 he was made a freeman of Bristol.
At Blagdon, where he usually lived, he carried on the tradition of high farming, and was
a successful breeder of Shorthorns. He was a keen angler and a good game shot.
Members of the Wills family have left large fortunes. Sir George's father, Mr. H. O. Wills,
who died 19 years ago, left £5,200,000, and his cousin, Mr. F. N. H. Wills, left £5,053,360
when he died last October. Nine other members of the family have each left £1,000,000 or
more.

MARRIAGES
Mr. G. S. Wills and Miss L. M. Hare
The marriage took place yesterday, at St. Mary's, Chilton Foliat, of Mr. George Seton Wills,
son of Sir Ernest and Lady Wills, of Littlecote, near Hungerford, Wiltshire, and Miss Lilah
Mary Hare, daughter of Captain and Mrs. Percy Hare, of Villa mes Délices, Mentone, France.
The Bishop of Bath and Wells officiated, assisted by Cannon A. L. Helps and the Rev. W. H.
Pelham.
The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a white gown woven with silver, and her
tulle veil was held in place by a halo headdress of orange-blossom. She carried a bouquet of
Madonna lilies. Venetia Wills (niece of the bridegroom) was the trainbearer, and there were
four other little bridesmaids - Jane and Susan Kyffin and Priscilla and Audrey Haag - and two
grown-up attendants - Miss Victoria Hare (sister of the bride) and Miss Rosemary Potter. They
all wore lavender-blue dresses, with head-wreaths and bouquets of dark red roses. Mr. E.
E. de Winton Wills was best man to his brother.
A reception was held afterwards at Littlecote, near Hungerford, and then the bride and bridegroom
left to spend their honeymoon in South America. The bride traveled in a duck-egg blue
dress, with a silver fox fur and dark blue hat. (The guests were too numerous to mention here.)

Father: Ernest Salter Wills
Mother: Caroline Fanny Maud De Winton
Notes:
Married his wife's sister soon after the law was changed to allow it. George was born on 18 May 1911, the younger son of Sir Ernest Wills, 3rd Baronet of Hazelwood, and Caroline Fanny Maud de Winton. He served in WW2 as a Major in The Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry. He fought at El Alamein and was mentioned in dispatches. He was awarded the Territorial Decoration. George inherited Littlecote, upon the death of his father, but lived at Eastridge Manor on the Littlecote Estate. Littlecote House was opened to the public, and George gave it to his son on his 21st birthday, to avoid death duties. George, together with his son, purchased Inchrory (The Glenavon Estate) near Tomintoul, Banff shire in Scotland, which is next door to Balmoral Castle, using the sale proceeds of L'Oiseau Bleu, Menton, in France. He never inherited the Baronetcy, because he predeceased Sir Edward, his elder brother; Thus, the title went to his son, David Seton, as Sir Edward had no male heir. Ditchley Park, Enstone, Oxfordshire, the last major estate acquired by the Will family. It was donated in the 1950's by David Wills to the nation, and is now owned by the Ditchley Foundation, an Anglo-American educational trust which seeks to further transatlantic understanding through a programme of conferences and seminars.

DEATH OF MR. H. H. WILLS
A GREAT BENEFACTOR
OF BRISTOL
Mr. Henry Herbert Wills, one of Bristol's greatest benefactors, and a member of the well-known
tobacco firm, died last night at his residence, St. Vincent's, Clifton Park.
He was associated with many philanthropic institutions, and was perhaps most closely identified
with Bristol University, which his father so materially assisted to bring into being,
and which he fostered with a generousity equalled only by his brother, Mr. G. A. Wills. What
he did for the University would be alone sufficient to place his name among the greatest
of local philanthropists, but he recently launched a scheme which doubled the city's indebtedness
to him, in founding St. Monica's Home of Rest for Incurables, to which he contributed
one and a quarter millions.
Mr. Wills was the second son of Mr. Henry Overton Wills, and was born in Bristol on March
20, 1856. He was educated at Clifton College and Bristol University College, in both of which
he maintained a warm interest throughout his life. As a young man he devoted his attention
to mechanical engineering, and the knowledge he gained was turned to profitable use when
he entered the business of Messrs. W. D. and H. O. Wills. He became a director of the firm,
and on the formation of the Imperial Tobacco Company he took a seat on the board.

OBITUARY
Mr. H. O. Wills
The death occurred yesterday morning of Mr. Henry Overton Wills, of Kelston Knott, near Bath.
He was the son of the late Henry Overton Wills, who with William Day Wills formed the original
firm of W. D. and H. O. Wills, tobacco manufacturers, of Bristol and London. He was born
at Bristol in 1828, entered the firm in 1846, and retired from active association with the
business in 1880, owing to reasons of health. Since that time he lived largely in retirement,
and for several years he had a summer residence in Norway. Mr. Wills was one of the oldest
magistrates for Bristol, and was formerly on the directorate of several local commercial
concerns. A generous supporter of local institutions in Bristol and Bath, he was especially
interested in music and painting. He gave £2,000 in order to complete the Bristol Cathedral
organ fund a few years ago, and made gifts of pictures to the Bristol Art Gallery, which
his cousin, the late Lord Winterstoke, had presented to the city. At the time when his brother,
the late Sir Edward Wills, and other Bristol citizens were promoting the foundation of
a convalescent home as a memorial to Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee Mr. Wills subscribed
to £10,000.
In 1908, his son, Mr. George Alfred Wills, deputy chairman of the Imperial Tobacco Company,
was president of the Bristol University College Colston Society, founded to promote higher
education and with the aim of building up a fund towards the endowment of a university for
Bristol. At the annual dinner of the Society a letter was read from Mr. H. O. Wills promising
£100,000 to the fund if a charter were obtained within two years. This gave great impetus
to the movement. The late King Edward, on the occasion of his visit to Bristol in the same
year, expressed interest in the proposal; other members of the Wills family gave large sums,
and the citizens generally responded so generously that a charter was obtained well within
the time and Mr. Wills was elected first Chancellor. It was a keen disappointment to him
that the state of his health prevented him from doing much personal work for the University,
but he followed it's proceedings with the deepest interest. Two years ago the honorary freedom
of Bristol was conferred upon Mr. Wills and at the same time upon Mr. Joseph Storrs Fry.
Mr. Wills took no part in the formation or conduct of the Imperial Tobacco Company, but three
of his sons, Mr. George Alfred Wills, Mr. H. H. Wills, and Mr. W. Melville Wills, are directors.
A fourth son, Mr. Stanley Wills, is a member of the Bar, and is attached to the Western
Circuit. Mr H. O. Wills was of Nonconformist stock and was a Liberal until Mr. Gladstone's
first Home Rule Bill, when he joined the Liberal Unionist Party.
The Times, Friday, Sep 8, 1911 FUNERALS
Mr. H. O. Wills
The funeral took place in Bristol yesterday of Mr. Henry Overton Wills. Among the mourners
were all the members of the family, including Sir Edward Wills, except the eldest son, Mr.
George Wills, Chairman of the Imperial Tobacco Company, and his brother Mr. Stanley Wills,
who were unable to return from Norway in time.
There was a large congregation in the Cathedral including the Lord Mayor and members of the
Corporation and the directors of the Imperial Tobacco Company.
He was entombed in the same vault as his wife Alice, who died in December 1881, his son Maitland
who was killed by a fall in North Wales in April 1885, his youngest son H.O. Wills IV who
died in October 1899.

The Times, Monday, Jul 27, 1936 MARRIAGES The Duke and Duchess of York, with Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, were present on Saturday at the marriage at St. Margaret's, Westminster, of Mr. John Lycett Wills, The Life Guards, second son of Captain and Mrs. Arnold Wills, of Thornby Hall, Northampton, and the Hon. Jean Constance Elphinstone, second daughter of Lord and Lady Elphinstone, of Carberry Tower, Musselburgh. The Archbishop of Canterbury officiated, assisted by the Rev. C. H. Ritchie and the Rev. L. N. de Burgh. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a gown of white angel-skin woven in a silver leaf design. The bodice had long tight-fitting sleeves and the train was cut in one with the skirt. Her veil of white tulle was held in place by a wreath of tiny arum lilies with orange-blossom, and she wore a pearl necklace. There were three child attendants - the Hon. Margaret Elphinstone (sister of the bride) and Davina and Fergus Bowes-Lyon There were three child attendants - the Hon. Margaret Elphinstone (sister of the bride) and Davina and Fergus Bowes-Lyon (cousins of the bride) - and eight grown-up bridesmaids - the Hon. Elizabeth Elphinstone (sister of the bride), Lady Jane Fitzroy, Lady Betty Anson, Lady Romayne Cecil, Miss Rona Murray, Miss Sophie Trafford, Miss Joscelyne Verney, and Miss Hersey Coke. The page wore the Royal Stewart tartan kilt, with a white jacket, and the girls were in white organza, with blue sashes, and white wreaths in their hair. The older attendants had dresses of white ripple satin, with wreaths of white gardenias in their hair, and they carried bouquets of mixed white flowers. Viscount Anson was best man, and a guard of honor was formed from the Life Guards. A reception was held at 64, Rutland Gate, and then the bride and bridegroom left to spend the honeymoon motoring in Austria. The bride went away in a dress of blue crêpe under a matching coat of woollen material, with a blue straw hat.
