He was returned to Parliament for Radnor in 1863, a seat he held until 1869, and later represented Radnorshire between 1880 and 1885. In 1874 he was created a baronet, of Norton Manor in the parish of Norton in the County of Radnor[1] and in 1876 served as High Sheriff of Radnorshire.[2]
Green-Price died in August 1887, aged 83.[3] He is commemorated by a Grade-II-listed red granite obelisk near Hengwm Hill north-west of Norton.[4]
