Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Use British English Sir John Neeld, 1st Baronet (1805–1891) was a member of Parliament for Cricklade between 1835 and 1859, and Chippenham, Wiltshire, England, between 1865 and 1868.[1]

Early life and career

Neeld was one of five sons of Joseph Neeld (1754–1828) and his wife Mary (née Bond) (1765–1857), of Hendon, Middlesex.[2] He was educated at Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took a B.A. in 1827 and an M.A. three years later.[3][4]

In 1840 he was a founding member of the Conservative Club[5] and in 1845 married Lady Eliza Harriet Dickson, setting up home in London.[4] The same year he was appointed to the office of Gentleman of the Privy Chamber to Queen Victoria,[4][6] for which service he was created 1st Baronet Neeld and became entitled to the style "Sir John Neeld" on 20 April 1859.[7]

In 1852 he was offered the position of Junior Lord of the Treasury by Lord Derby, but refused.[4]

Neeld became a major landowner in Wiltshire, having inherited from his brother Joseph in 1856; in 1872 he was High Sheriff of the county.[4]

Death and legacy

Neeld died on 3 September 1891 at Grittleton House, Wiltshire.[3]

His son Algernon William (11 June 1846 – 11 August 1900)[8] inherited the baronetcy; on his death his son, Audley Dallas Neeld, became the 3rd Baronet and inherited Rembrandt's self-portrait of 1669, today in the Mauritshuis.[9] On the Audley's death on 1 May 1941 the title was extinguished.[7]

Neeld's daughter Ada Mary (b. 11 June 1846[10]),[8] twin sister of Algernon,[10] married General Sir George Harry Smith Willis, a British Army General who achieved high office in the 1880s, and they went on to have four sons.[11] Lady Ada Mary Willis (née Neeld) opened the Southsea Railway on 1 July 1885, as her husband was the Lieutenant Governor of Portsmouth at the time.[12][13][14]
