William Beckford
William Beckford was a well-known political figure in 18th-century London, who twice held the office of Lord Mayor of London. His vast wealth came largely from his plantations in Jamaica and the large numbers of enslaved Africans working for him. He was, and is, often referred to as Alderman Beckford to distinguish him from his son William Thomas Beckford, author and art collector, and from his nephew William Beckford of Somerley (1744-1799), author and plantation-owner.
