Biography

Spencer was born in 1848, the youngest son of John Spencer, iron master, of Phoenix House, West Bromwich. He was educated privately, and was a chairman of the family company, J. E. and S. Spencer Ltd, and a director of several other companies, including Kelly's Directories Ltd. In 1884 he was called to the bar by the Middle Temple, and joined the Oxford Circuit.[2] From 1892 to 1914 he served as counsel to the Austro-Hungarian consulate.[1] He was a Justice of the peace (JP) and a Deputy Lieutenant (DL) for Staffordshire.

In politics, he unsuccessfully contested the West Bromwich constituency in the general election in November 1885, but was elected as a Member of Parliament in the election the following year. He served as MP for West Bromwich from 1886 until he retired in the 1906 election.[2]

For his services to politics he was appointed a knight Bachelor in the November 1901 Birthday Honours list,[2] and received the knighthood from King Edward VII on 10 December 1901.[3]

He died at his home, at Oxshott, on 29 June 1937.[4]
