William Rookes Crompton-Stansfield (3 August 1790 – 5 December 1871)[1] was a British Whig politician.[2]
Stansfield was elected Whig MP for Huddersfield at the 1837 general election and held the seat until 1853, when his win at the 1852 general election was declared void due to bribery and treating which "prevailed to a great extent".[3][4]
