Osman Ricardo (25 May 1795 – 2 January 1881)[1] was a British Liberal and Whig politician.[2][3]
Ricardo was first elected Whig MP for Worcester at the 1847 general election, and, becoming a Liberal in 1859, he held the seat until 1865, when he stood down.[4]
William Cobbett in his 1830 book Rural Rides reports being frightened by a life-sized cross atop the porter's lodge at "Osmond Ricardo's" estate at "Broomsborough" (i.e. Bromsberrow), Worcestershire, on Monday 24 September 1826.
