Brograve Beauchamp

Sir Brograve Campbell Beauchamp, 2nd Baronet (5 May 1897 – 25 August 1976)[1] was a British businessman and National Liberal and Conservative Party politician.

[3][4] His elder brother, Edward Archibald Beauchamp, was killed in the war[5] and Brograve therefore succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father in 1925.

[7] On 8 October 1923, Beauchamp married Lady Evelyn Leonora Almina Herbert, daughter of the 5th Earl of Carnarvon at St Margaret's Church, Westminster.

[12] In the spring of 1923 Brograve and his parents visited Egypt, and were given a guided tour of Tutankhamun's tomb by the archaeologist Howard Carter.

[13] Outside Parliament Beauchamp worked as a businessman, and in 1937 he established a company named Pyrotenax, which produced a heat-resistant copper cable originally developed in France.
