Sir Edward Colebrooke of Abington and Ottershaw Baronet and Member of Parliament - The Four Lives of an Extraordinary Victorian - Softcover
Sir Edward Colebrooke was a well-known and influential MP in the mid nineteenth century. He is remembered in the areas of his two seats: Ottershaw in Surrey and Abington in Lanarkshire but little is known of the extraordinary man he turned out to be. His life's path changed dramatically when he was in his early twenties and he used his unexpected position in society, for the rest of his life, to work indefatigably to improve the lives of his fellow men. This book draws on much new research in piecing together the life of Sir Edward Colebrooke. It shows that this sincere aristocrat and parliamentarian played a significant role in nineteenth century politics both in London and, most particularly, around 400 miles away in Lanarkshire and Glasgow. It is also full of much contemporary colour and detail that gives a rich insight into Victorian life.
