Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom
Born Richard Bulkeley Philipps Grant, he was the son of John Grant and Mary Philippa Artemisia, daughter of James Child and Mary Philippa Artemisia, daughter of Bulkeley Philipps, third son of Sir John Philipps, 4th Baronet, of Picton Castle.
The following year he was appointed Lord-Lieutenant of Haverfordwest in succession to Lord Milford, which he remained until his death. In 1826 he was returned to parliament for Haverfordwest, a seat he held until 1835, and again between 1837 and 1847. Lord Milford was twice married.
There were no children from the two marriages and both titles became extinct on Lord Milford's death in January 1857, aged 55. His estates passed to his half-brother Reverend James Henry Alexander Gwyther, who assumed the surname of Philipps. James's daughter Mary Philippa married Charles Edward Gregg, who assumed the surname of Philipps and was created a Baronet, of Picton, in 1887 (see Philipps Baronets).
Lady Milford died in 1909.
