George Denson was born in Sunderland in December 1894 and during the Great War served in France from 20 September 1915. Returned home, he became involved in politics and stood as the Conservative Member for Blaydon in the 1923 and 1924 elections. He was in charge of promoting the Conservative push in Darlington and Chester-le-Street in the 1929 General Election and became the appointed Agent in 1930. Moving to Cambridge in 1931, he took up the same post there. By 1939, he was the Cambridge Agent & Secretary and served with the local A.R.P. during the Second World War (probably entitled to the Defence Medal). Denson died in April 1965 at the Chesterton Hospital.
