George Halifax Lumley-Savile was the elder son of John Savile Lumley-Savile, 2nd Baron Savile and inherited the title upon the latter's death in 1931. George Lumley-Savile was a member of the House of Lords for 60 years and enjoyed attending the meetings of the House until the House of Lords Act 1999 denied hereditary peers their seats in the House. In 1938 aged 19 Lord Savile, with promptings by his mother, sold the family seat at Rufford Abbey. George and his younger brother Henry were both educated at Summerfields and Eton, and both of them won the Harmsworth Music Prize at Eton.
George Savile gave in 1950 large areas of Hardcastle Crags to the National Trust and gave in 1960 Popples Common and adjacent moorland near Heptonstall to Hepton Rural District Council. He was a devout Anglican and patron of Emley Parish Church. He never married. His nephew John Anthony Thornhill Lumley-Savile inherited the title upon George's death in 2008 and the next year put Gryce Hall and Walshaw Lodge up for sale.
