Montague Waldegrave, 5th Baron Radstock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Montague Waldegrave, 5th Baron Radstock (15 July 1867 – 17 September 1953) was the second son of Granville Waldegrave, 3rd Baron Radstock and his wife, Susan Charlotte Calcroft. He was educated at Monkton Combe School and Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating with a B.A. degree in 1889.[1] He married Constance Marion Brodie on 15 July 1898. When his elder brother died without issue in 1937, Montague succeeded to the title of Baron Radstock of Castle Town, Queen's County, Ireland.

Radstock's only son, John Montagu Granville Waldegrave RN, was killed in action in 1944 whilst on active service aboard HMS Penelope, leaving behind two daughters. With no remaining male heirs, the barony became extinct on the death of the 5th baron at the age of 86 in 1953.
