  1. (historical, UK politics) A member of Young England, a group of neofeudalist 19th-century Tories.
    • 2015, David Matthews, Medievalism: A Critical History, →ISBN, page 56:
      In a related but more obviously nostalgic way the Young Englanders looked back to an earlier England: Disraeli lamented in his 1845 novel Sybil, or the Two Nations, that “there is no community in England” and proposed the medievalising of the aristocracy as a solution.
