From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gilbert John Heathcote, 1st Baron Aveland (16 January 1795-6 September 1867), known as Sir Gilbert John Heathcote, 5th Baronet, from 1851 to 1856, was a British Whig Member of Parliament.
Aveland was the son of Sir Gilbert Heathcote, 4th Baronet, and Katherine Sophia Manners, daughter of John Manners. He was educated at Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1820 Aveland was elected to Parliament for Boston, a seat he held until 1830, and again from 1831 to 1832. He later represented Lincolnshire South from 1832 to 1841 and Rutland from 1841 to 1856. The latter year he was raised to the peerage as Baron Aveland, of Aveland in the County of Lincoln. He later served as Lord Lieutenant of Lincolnshire from 1862 to 1867.
Lord Aveland married Clementina Elizabeth Drummond-Willoughby, 24th Baroness Willoughby de Eresby, daughter of Peter Robert Drummond-Burrell, 22nd Baron Willoughby de Eresby, in 1827. He died in September 1867, aged 72, and was succeeded by his son Gilbert Henry Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby. He also succeeded his mother in the barony of Willoughby de Eresby in 1888 and was created Earl of Ancaster in 1892.
