About Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Lockhart Ovey DSO

Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Lockhart Ovey, DSO, was High Sheriff of Oxfordshire in 1927.

He obtained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, having been decorated with the Distinguished Service Order in 1916 during the First World War. He was once Lord of the Manor of Turville St Albans in Buckinghamshire, so it is perhaps no surprise to find that his family is listed in Burke's Peerage under Ovey of Hernes, with proven descent going back to Thomas Ovey of Watlington, Oxfordshire, born in the late 16th century.
