Introduction
Sir Henry Oglander, 7th Baronet (1811–1874), was a British aristocrat and landowner. He was the son of Sir William Oglander, 6th Baronet, and Maria Anne Fitzroy. He succeeded to the baronetcy upon the death of his father in 1852.
In 1845, Oglander married Louisa Leeds, the daughter of Sir George Leeds, 1st Baronet. His notable public service includes his appointment as High Sheriff of Dorset in 1854.
Oglander owned Nunwell House, located on the Isle of Wight. An artifact associated with him is an old gun presented by local inhabitants, which was placed on the terrace of Nunwell House. During the invasion scare of 1859–60, he played a role in local defense efforts by raising the 4th (Nunwell) Isle of Wight Rifle Volunteer Corps. He initially commanded the corps as a lieutenant, a rank confirmed on 17 July 1860, and was subsequently promoted to captain.
Sir Henry Oglander died in 1874. With no heirs, he was considered the last of his family line. He was interred in St. Mary's Church in Brading, alongside many of his ancestors. His tomb is designed in the arts and crafts style. Additionally, the west doorway of the Church of St. John the Evangelist in Sandown was constructed in the Norman style as a memorial to him.
His wife, Louisa Leeds, outlived him by two decades, passing away in 1894.
