Merton Russell-Cotes
Sir Merton Russell-Cotes, FRGS (8 May 1835, Wolverhampton – 27 January 1921, Bournemouth) was Mayor of Bournemouth, England, 1894-1895. During his Mayoralty, Meyrick Park, two free libraries, and the first two schools of art in the borough were opened. He moved to Bournemouth in 1876 with his wife Annie. Soon after this, they bought the Bath Hotel. They quickly enlarged the hotel and renamed it the Royal Bath Hotel because the Prince of Wales had stayed there in 1856. Wikipedia
