Justinian Edwards-Heathcote

Captain Justinian Heathcote Edwards-Heathcote was a British Conservative politician and soldier. A member of the Staffordshire gentry, he was the maternal grandfather of the fascist leader Oswald Mosley.
Heathcote was eldest son of Rev. Edward James Justinian Edwards and his wife, the former Elizabeth Anne Heathcote. His mother was the daughter and heiress of Richard Edensor Heathcote by his wife Lady Elizabeth Lindsay. Born in Trentham, Staffordshire, where his father was the vicar, Heathcote was educated at Winchester College before receiving a commission in the 63rd (West Suffolk) Regiment of Foot. From 1875, he was a captain in the Staffordshire Yeomanry.
He was married to Eleanor Stone, with whom he had three children. On 5 March 1870, he succeeded to his uncle's estate and thus assumed by royal licence the surname of Heathcote.
Heathcote stood unsuccessfully for the Conservative Party in North West [Staffordshire (UK Parliament constituency)|North West Staffordshire] at the 1885 general election, but won the seat in 1886. He retired in 1892 to his estate of Apedale Hall, near Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire.
