Walter John Stanton (24 March 1828[1] – 2 August 1913[2]) was an English civil engineer, woollen manufacturer and a Liberal Party politician. He sat in the House of Commons briefly in 1874 and from 1880-85. He was also one of the successors to (Marling School), Stroud Early lifeStanton was the son of Charles Stanton of Upfield Stroud and his wife Martha Holbrow, daughter of Thomas Holbrow.[3] His uncle William Henry Stanton had been a Member of Parliament (MP) for the borough of Stroud from 1841 to 1852.[4] He was educated at Westminster School and originally became a civil engineer, studying under Joseph Locke.[3] CareerLater he became a woollen manufacturer and a J.P. for Gloucestershire and a captain in the 2nd Gloucestershire Rifle Volunteers. From 1861 to 1874 he was chairman of the Stroud Local Board.[3] Along with other members of his family, he ran a major carpet-manufacturing business in Shrewsbury.[4] At the 1874 general election Stanton was elected as an MP for the borough of Stroud,[5] but his election was voided on petition.[6] His cousin Alfred Stanton[4] was elected in his place, and at the 1880 general election,[7] and Alfred stood aside and Walter was re-elected,[6] holding the seat until 1885.[1] At the 1885 general election, the two-seat parliamentary borough of Stroud was abolished, and the town became part of a larger single-seat division of Gloucestershire. Stroud's other Liberal MP, Henry Brand, was chosen to contest the new seat, and narrowly won it.[8] However, he later joined the breakaway Liberal Unionists, and at the 1886 general election Stanton was again the Liberal candidate in Stroud. Brand stood unsuccessfully in Cardiff Boroughs,[9] and in Stroud Stanton was beaten by the Conservative candidate George Holloway.[8] Stanton died at the age of 85, on 2 August 1913.[2] His funeral was held in Stroud Parish Church.[2] FamilyIn 1865 Stanton married Mary Capel, the daughter of William Capel of Stroud.[4] References1. ^1 {{rayment-hc|s|5|date=March 2012}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|uk}}{{s-bef | before = John Dorington2. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=Deaths|date=5 August 1913|work=The Times|pages=1, col A|accessdate=11 November 2010|location=London}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book |last=Mair |first=Robert Henry |title=archive.org/stream/debrettshouseo1881londuoft#page/214/mode/2up |url=https://archive.org/stream/debrettshouseo1870londuoft |year=1881 |publisher=Dean & Son |location=London |page=214}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|title=The New Members Of Parliament|date=5 April 1880|work=The Times|pages=4, col B|accessdate=11 November 2010|location=London}} 5. ^{{London Gazette |issue= 24063 |date=6 February 1874 |page=540 |city=London }} 6. ^1 {{cite book |last=Craig |first=F.
