Biography

Sir William Eden, 4th/6th Baronet, carried his family's traditions with humility, seeking to balance duty at Auckland with kindness toward neighbours and tenants.

He was a familiar face around the Church of St Helen, where his loyalty to the parish endures in memory, and his resting place there speaks of the quiet leadership he offered.
