Henry Maddocks (politician)

Sir Henry Maddocks KC (26 April 1871 — 9 June 1931)[1] was an English lawyer and British Conservative Party politician.

[5] He was knighted in the King's Birthday Honours List in June 1923 and among his profession he was talked of as a future Solicitor-General.

[2] However, at the 1923 general election the Conservative government led by Stanley Baldwin fell and he was defeated by the Liberal Party candidate Herbert Willison, who was ironically a longstanding friend and a solicitor who had instructed Maddocks to take on cases in the latter's early years as barrister.

Maddocks married in 1895, Elsie Mary, daughter of John Anslow of Coventry, by whom he had six sons.

Maddocks, whose last home was at "Wytheford", Sandy Lodge, Northwood, Middlesex,[3] died in June 1931 aged 60 and was buried in nearby Pinner Cemetery.
