Lord Eden of Winton, industry minister who stood up for radicalism early in the Heath era – obituary
A nephew of Sir Anthony Eden, he supported hanging, the return of the birch, and campaigned for a ban on using beagles in cigarette testing
Lord Eden of Winton, who has died aged 94, was a high-profile Industry Minister in Edward Heath’s government, embodying the firm approach to “lame ducks” agreed at the Selsdon discussions before the 1970 election.
… A nephew of Sir Anthony Eden – whom he fiercely defended over Suez…
…Eden was a 7th and 9th Baronet, titles created in 1672 and 1776 which passed to his father’s line from different forebears. One was Robert Eden, Governor of Maryland, the last of America’s British colonial governors to leave, days before the Declaration of Independence. Eden was fêted when he visited Maryland in 1976 for “Eden Day”, the bicentenary of his ancestor’s departure.
…Eden’s mother started a girls’ school in Kensington; he himself chaired Lady Eden’s Schools for 27 years until its sale to Thomas’s Schools….
John Benedict Eden was born on September 15 1925, the son of Sir Timothy Calvert Eden, 6th and 8th Baronet, an actor, author and painter, and the former Patricia White; he succeeded his father to the titles in 1963.
…John Eden married first, in 1958, Belinda Jane Pascoe (dissolved 1974); they had two sons and two daughters. He married secondly, in 1977, Margaret Ann, Viscountess Strathallan. He is succeeded in the baronetcies by his elder son, Robert Frederick Calvert Eden.
Lord Eden of Winton, born September 15 1925, died May 23 2020
