Henry Lopes, 2nd Baron Ludlow
Henry Ludlow Lopes, 2nd Baron Ludlow (30 September 1865 – 8 November 1922), was a British barrister and politician.
Lopes was the only son of Henry Lopes, 1st Baron Ludlow, by Cordelia Lucy, daughter of Erving Clark, of Efford Manor, Plymouth. He was educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford, and was called to the Bar, Middle Temple, in 1890. In 1899 he succeeded his father in the barony. Ludlow was appointed a deputy lieutenant of Wiltshire in 1900.[1] He became a member of the London County Council for Marylebone in 1904, a post he held until 1907.
He served in the Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry (Prince of Wales's Own Royal Regiment), where he was promoted to lieutenant on 26 March 1902.[2] He later fought in the First World War as a staff captain.[3]
Lord Ludlow was twice married. He married firstly Blanche, daughter of William Holden and former wife of Frederick Ellis, 7th Baron Howard de Walden, in 1903.[4] After her death in April 1911 he married secondly Alice, daughter of James Mankiewicz and widow of Sir Julius Wernher, in 1919. Both marriages were childless. Lord Ludlow died in November 1922, aged 57, when the barony became extinct. His second wife died in November 1945.[3]
