Literature Literature
Edward John Barrington Douglas-Scott- Montagu, 3rd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu (born 20 October 1926) is a British Conservative politician well known in Britain for founding the National Motor Museum, as well as for a pivotal cause célèbre in British gay history, his 1954 conviction and imprisonment for homosexual sex, a charge he denied.
Lord Montagu gained an interest in motoring from his father — who had commissioned the original ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ mascot for his Rolls- Royce — and with his family collection of historic cars this led him to open the National Motor Museum in the grounds of his stately home, Palace House, Beaulieu, Hampshire in 1952. Lord Montagu founded The Veteran And Vintage Magazine in 1956 and continued to develop the museum, making a name for himself in tourism. He was chairman of the Historic Houses Association from 1973 to 1978 and chairman of English Heritage from 1984 to 1992. Whilst there he appointed Jennifer Page (later of the Millennium Dome) as Chief Executive in 1989.
