Arthur Walsh, 2nd Baron Ormathwaite (14 April 1827 – 27 March 1920) was a British Conservative Party politician, the son of John Walsh, 1st Baron Ormathwaite.[1]

Career

He was commissioned as a cornet in the 1st Life Guards on 23 April 1847 and served in the regiment for a few years, becoming a captain.[1][2]

He was elected as a member of parliament (MP) for Leominster in 1865, resigning in 1868 by becoming Steward of the Manor of Northstead. This allowed him to stand for Radnorshire and replace his father in the by-election that ensued after the latter was elevated to the peerage.[1]

Walsh was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Radnorshire in 1875, a post he held until 1895. He was appointed Honorary Colonel of the Royal South Wales Borderers Militia on 30 December 1876, and retained the position after the regiment became the 3rd (Reserve) Battalion, South Wales Borderers in 1908.[1][2]

He succeeded his father in the barony in 1881, and died in 1920.[1]
