John Percival Davies, 1st Baron Darwen (28 March 1885 – 26 December 1950), was a British cotton manufacturer and Labour politician.

Early life

Davies repeatedly fought the Conservative seat of Skipton, in 1929, 1931, 1933, 1935 and 1945, but was never successful.

In 1946 Davies was raised to the peerage as Baron Darwen, of Heys-in-Bowland in the West Riding of the County of York. He served as a Lord-in-waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from 1949 to 1950 in the Labour government of Clement Attlee.

Family

Lord Darwen married Mary Kathleen, daughter of Alfred Kemp Brown, in 1914. He died in December 1950, aged 65, and was succeeded in the barony by his son Cedric. Lady Darwen died in 1964.
