Blanshard Stamp

Sir Edward Blanshard Stamp QC (21 March 1905 – 20 June 1984), also styled The Rt. Hon. Lord Justice Stamp, was an English lawyer, a Lord Justice of Appeal and a member of the Privy Council.

The son of Alfred Edward Stamp, Stamp was educated at Gresham's School, Holt, and the Inns of Court. A barrister, he became a High Court judge of the Chancery Division and in 1971 a Lord Justice of Appeal. He was appointed a privy counsellor on 5 April 1971.

He should not be confused with antecedents of the same name, Mr Edward Blanshard Stamp (1805 – 1847), of Brighton, and Mr Edward Blanshard Stamp (d. 1908), of Hampstead.

Famous quotes containing the word stamp:

    Now stamp the Lord’s Prayer on a grain of rice,
    A Bible-leaved of all the written woods
    Strip to this tree: a rocking alphabet,
    Genesis in the root, the scarecrow word,
    And one light’s language in the book of trees.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
