- John Weld-Forester, 2nd Baron Forester
John George Weld Weld-Forester, 2nd Baron Forester PC (9 August 1801-10 October 1874), was a British Tory politician.
Forester was the eldest son of Cecil Weld-Forester, 1st Baron Forester, and Lady Katherine Mary Manners. He was elected to the House of Commons for Wenlock in 1826, a seat he held until 1828, when he succeeded his father as second Baron Forester and entered the House of Lords. In 1841 he was appointed Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms (government chief whip in the House of Lords) in the Tory administration of Sir Robert Peel, which he remained until the government fell in 1846. He was admitted to the Privy Council in 1841.
Lord Forester died in October 1874, aged 73. He never married and was succeeded in the barony by his younger brother George Cecil Weld-Forester, who was also a Tory politician.
