Edward Lenox Dutton, 4th Baron Sherborne

Sherborne was a British diplomat with posts in Frankfurt, Germany and in Madrid, Spain.

At the age of 51 he became the 4th baron Sherborne and inherited the Sherborne estate which had been somewhat depleted by his father.

Through frugality, careful administration and his marriage to an heiress, the 4th Lord Sherborne was successful in restoring the barony's formerly strong financial position.

Sherborne was President of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 1887-1888. In addition, he was an antiquarian, an ornithologist and Justice of the Peace for the County of Gloucester
