Sir Alfred Warren OBE (6 February 1856 - 1 August 1927) was a Conservative Party politician who served as borough councillor and mayor of Poplar, and then as a Member of Parliament.
Alfred Harman Warren was born in Poplar on 6 February 1856 and educated at the local Wesleyan School. He was a member of Poplar Borough Council, serving as Mayor of Poplar from 1913 to 1918.[1] In the June 1918 King's Birthday Honours Alfred Warren was both knighted[2] and made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).[3] The London Gazette entries for these two honours summarise the extent of his activities in support of the war effort during the First World War:
At the 1918 General Election Sir Alfred was elected to Parliament as member for Edmonton in Middlesex,[6] standing as a Conservative supporter of David Lloyd George's coalition Government. He stood again at the general election of 1922, but was defeated by the Labour Party candidate, Frank Broad.[7]
Active in the Manchester Unity of Oddfellows, he served as its Grand Master, and was also president of the National Conference of Friendly Societies.[1]
Sir Alfred Harman Warren died on 1 August 1927 at the age of 71.[1]
