Captain Lord Edward William John Manners (5 August 1864 – 26 February 1903) was a British Army officer, Conservative politician, and aristocrat.

[2] "Lord Edward was by no means an eloquent speaker, but he was able to give expression to his views very clearly, and impressed his audiences with his genial and unaffected manner...

Socially, Lord Edward was exceedingly popular, and during the time he occupied the position of Field Master of the Belvoir Hounds, he was held in great respect.

[2] After suffering from consumption (known today as tuberculosis) and failing health for considerable time, Manners died at Cannes in February 1903, aged only 38.

[2] After his body was brought from Cannes to London for cremation, his funeral was held in the Mausoleum at Belvoir Castle.
