Lot Essay
The Hon. Charles Spencer Bateman Hanbury Kincaid-Lennox (1827-1912), Politician, was the son of William Bateman Hanbury, 1st Baron Bateman of Shobdon. Hanbury was educated at Eton and then went on to All Soul's College, Oxford. He was the Conservative Member of Parliament for Hereford and Leominster. He was baptised with the name of Charles Spencer Bateman-Hanbury. However, in 1861, when he married Margaret Kincaid-Lennox, he changed his name by Royal License to include that of his wife, probably for financial reasons.
He is a man of five-and-fifty, of facts, of humour, of energy, and of sound Conservative opinions.... He is extremely well-known; he is much liked; and he walks nineteen stone.
