Lord Edward Manners

Captain Lord Edward William John Manners (5 August 1864 – 26 February 1903) was a British Army officer, Conservative politician, and aristocrat.

Early life Manners was born at 6 Cumberland Terrace, Camden, the eldest son of John Manners, 7th Duke of Rutland, by his second marriage to Janetta Hughan, daughter of Thomas Hughan. Henry Manners, 8th Duke of Rutland, was his half-brother and Lord Cecil Manners his brother.

He received his education at Wellington College and at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst.

In 1895, he contested the Melton Division against Alderman Wakerley to succeed his half-brother as Member of Parliament for Melton, a seat he held until 1900, when he was forced to retire due to ill-health, and his brother Cecil replaced him. After his body was brought from Cannes to London for cremation, his funeral was held in the Mausoleum at Belvoir Castle. The next day, a memorial service was held for him at St Margaret's, Westminster.
