Early life
Josceline Fitzroy Bagot was born in Ashtead, Surrey, the son of Col. Charles Bagot and Sophia Louisa Percy.
Military career
He joined the Army and received a commission in the Grenadier Guards in 1875 [1] and was appointed Aide-de-Camp to the Governor-General of Canada in 1881–1882 and 1888–1889. He also saw service in the Boer War in 1899–1900, where he was mentioned in despatches and was the chief Military Censor.[2] His wife was also in South Africa during the war, running a military hospital. He was later attached to the Westmoreland and Cumberland Imperial Yeomanry, where he was granted the honorary rank of lieutenant-colonel on 7 May 1902.[3]
Political career
He was twice returned as Conservative MP for Kendal (1892–1906 and 1910–1913),[4] and served as a Parliamentary Secretary at both the Treasury and the Home Office. He was nominated for a baronetcy in 1913 but died the same year. The baronetcy was conferred instead on his only son, Sir Alan Bagot, 1st Baronet. Josceline Bagot was buried in St Peters churchyard, Heversham, Cumbria.[5]
Family
He married on 11 June 1885 Theodosia Leslie (1865–1940), daughter of Sir John Leslie, 1st Baronet. His wife was appointed a Lady of Grace of the Order of St. John (DStJ) in July 1901.[6] They had four children, Alan Desmond (who became the 1st and last Baronet Bagot of Leven), Dorothy, Marjorie Constance and Mary.[7] They lived at Levens Hall, near Kendal which Bagot had inherited from a distant relative, Mary Howard[8]
