History of Sir Robert Walpole - GOV.UK

gov.uk →

Today often viewed as the first British Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole was described by contemporary opponents as the ‘Screen-Master General’, adept at pulling all the political strings. He was First Lord of the Treasury for over twenty years, an unusually long period in office by any standard. During this time he played an important role in restoring government credit after the South Sea Bubble financial crisis. Walpole lived in 10 Downing Street from 1735 having insisted that it become the residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, rather than being given to him personally.
