Edward Guinness obituary

Influential director of his family’s eponymous brewing company who squared up to the chief executive ‘Deadly Ernest’ Saunders

…[He was] the great-great-great-great-nephew of Arthur Guinness, who founded the brewery with the eponymous name…

… Cecil Edward Guinness was born in 1924 in Leyland, Lancashire, the son of Cecil Guinness, the manager of a cotton mill near Chorley, and Betty Knowles Davies. Despite his lineage, his branch of the family was far from the wealthiest: the cotton industry collapsed and Edward’s grandfather, a remittance man sent to Australia to get him out of the way, eventually died penniless in San Francisco. Still, there were sufficient funds for Edward to attend Summer Fields preparatory school in Oxford, where he was a contemporary of the actors Christopher Lee and Patrick Macnee, and Stowe School, where he was the first boy to edit the Stoic magazine…

…He married Elizabeth Thompson, the daughter of Alan Thompson, chairman of Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries. She died in 2017. He is survived by two of his three daughters: Henrietta Greig, who with her husband founded Pipers Farm in Devon; and Dida Lamb, a complementary therapist. Charlotte died in 1998…

… Although Guinness was invited to colourful family parties in Dublin and was proud of his ancestry, compiling with Lord Moyne volume IV of the Guinness family tree, he was inclined less towards revelry than to gardening, bird-watching, reading and following cricket and football, as well as his charitable work…

Edward Guinness CVO, brewer, was born on June 26, 1924. He died of old age on December 29, 2022, aged 98
