Hugh Birley (21 October 1817 – 7 September 1883) was a British businessman and Conservative politician.[citation needed] Birley was granted armorial bearings by the College of Arms, the blazon of which was as follows: Sable on a fesse engrailed between three boars' heads couped argent, a mascle between three cross crosslets of the field, and for the Crest upon a wreath of the colours a demi-boar rampant sable collared argent the chain reflexed over the back or supporting a branch of wild teazle proper, charged on the shoulder with a millrind argent.[5] At the 1868 general election the representation of the Parliamentary Borough of Manchester was increased to three members of parliament.Birley was elected as the first Conservative MP for the town, alongside the two sitting Liberal Party members, Thomas Bazley and Jacob Bright.He was remembered for his generous support for the Church of England, financing new local churches and schools, and funds were raised for his memorial in the Cathedral, an ornate Gothic Revival altar tomb of polished Caen stone surmounted with a life-sized alabaster recumbent effigy of Birley, which was designed by J.
