Sir Powlett Charles John Milbank, 2nd Baronet JP DL (1 May 1852 – 30 January 1918), was a British Conservative Member of Parliament.




Early life


He was the second, but eldest surviving, son of Sir Frederick Acclom Milbank, 1st Baronet and Alexina Harriet Elizabeth Don. His father was a Liberal MP for North Riding of Yorkshire and Richmond who had been created a baronet, of Well in the County of York, and of Hart in the County of Durham in 1882. His elder brother, William Harry Vane Milbank, predeceased their father without issue in 1892, although he was stepfather to the British painter Count Albert de Belleroche.
His paternal grandparents were Mark Milbank, MP for Camelford, and Lady Augusta Vane (a daughter of the 1st Duke of Cleveland). His maternal grandparents were Sir Alexander Don, 6th Baronet, MP for Roxburghshire, and, his second wife, the former Grace Stein (a daughter of John Stein, MP for Bletchingley who was an Edinburgh banker and distiller). After his grandfather died, his grandmother married Lt.-Gen. Sir James Maxwell Wallace.

Milbank was returned to Parliament for Radnorshire in 1895, a seat he held until 1900. He became Lord Lieutenant of the county in the same year.
Upon the death of his father on 28 April 1898, he succeeded as second Baronet, of Well and Hart. He served as Lord-Lieutenant of Radnorshire, Deputy Lieutenant of Yorkshire, and a Justice of the Peace for Yorkshire.
