From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rt. Hon. Sir Walter Barttelot, 1st Baronet CB, PC (10 October 1820 – 2 February 1893) was a Conservative politician and Member of Parliament for several constituencies.

Barttelot was educated at Rugby School and served in various posts in the military. In December 1860 he was elected as a member for Sussex West, which he served until 1885 when he became member for Horsham, serving until his death. Horsham's Barttelot Road off the Brighton Road was named after him. Sussex Police Headquarters was based there and current photographs of Barttelot Road are featured (Hidden Horsham).

Barttelot was created as a baronet in 1875, a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1880 and a member of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom in 1892.

He was married to the former Harriet Musgrave and was the father of Dame Edith Sclater.
