Robert Blaine

Sir Robert Stickney Blaine (30 January 1816 – 15 December 1897) was a leading Conservative politician in the English City of Bath, who was mainly involved in local politics, but sat in the House of Commons from 1885 to 1886.

He was the son of Benjamin Blaine of Hull. Following a private education, he moved to Summerhill Park, Bath. He was a magistrate and member of the city council, where he became leader of the Conservative group. Following her death he married Lydia Letitia Purvis, daughter of the late Sir Timothy Vansittart Stonhouse, 14th Baronet.

In his later years he suffered from ill health, and travelled to Cannes in the south of France on medical advice. He died in Dover while returning from the Continent in January 1897, aged 81.
