From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Gilbert Heathcote, 4th Baronet (6 October 1773 – 26 March 1851), was a British Member of Parliament.
Heathcote was the son of Sir Gilbert Heathcote, 3rd Baronet and Elizabeth Hudson, daughter of Robert Hudson. He succeeded as fourth Baronet on his father's death in 1785. In 1796 he was elected to the House of Commons for Lincolnshire, a seat he held until 1806, and then represented Rutland from 1812 to 1841.
Heathcote married firstly Lady Katherine Sophia Manners, eldest daughter of John Manners and Louisa, Countess of Dysart, in 1793. After his first wife's death in 1825 he remarried the same year. Heathcote died in March 1851, aged 77, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son Gilbert John Heathcote, who in 1856 was elevated to the peerage as Baron Aveland.
