Spencer Compton, the 1st Earl of Wilmington was the Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1742 February 16 to 1743 July 2, under King George II.
During this time, his title was officially the First Lord of the Treasury. However, he was mostly a figurehead, with Lord John Carteret, the Northern Secretary of State, controlling most of the decisions.
At this time, Scotland and England were united into Great Britain. Ireland was still a separate Kingdom at this time.
