Major General John Fielden Brocklehurst, 1st Baron Ranksborough {{postnominals|country=GBR|sep=,|CB|CVO}} (13 May 1852 – 28 February 1921), was a British soldier, courtier and Liberal politician.

Background and education

Brocklehurst was the son of Henry Brocklehurst, of Foden Bank, Macclesfield, and the grandson of John Brocklehurst, for many years Member of Parliament for Macclesfield. His mother was Anne, daughter of 'Honest' John Fielden, Member of Parliament for Oldham. He was educated at Rugby and Trinity College, Cambridge.[1]

Career

Brocklehurst was also an Equerry to Queen Victoria from 1899 to 1901 and to Queen Alexandra from 1901[3] to 1910 and an Extra Equerry to Alexandra from 1910 to 1921 and served as Lord-Lieutenant of Rutland between 1906 and 1921. In 1914 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Ranksborough, of Ranksborough in the County of Rutland.[4] The title derived from his seat of Ranksborough Hall at Langham, Rutland, which he constructed in 1893 and which was often visited by members of the Royal family. Ranksborough took his seat on the Liberal benches in the House of Lords and served under H. H. Asquith and later David Lloyd George as a Lord-in-waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from 1915[5] to 1921.[6]

Honours and awards

Brocklehurst was appointed a Member of the Royal Victorian Order (MVO) in 1897,[7] a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) for his war service in South Africa in 1900,[8] and promoted to a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) in late 1901.[9]

He received the honorary freedom of the borough of his native town Macclesfield on 6 October 1902.[10]

Personal life

Lord Ranksborough married Louisa Alice Parsons, daughter of the Hon. Laurence Parsons, in 1878. The marriage was childless. He died in February 1921, aged 68, when the barony became extinct. Lady Ranksborough died in 1937.
