John Rolls, 2nd Baron Llangattock
- John Rolls, 2nd Baron Llangattock
John Maclean Rolls, 2nd Baron Llangattock (25 April 1870 – 31 October 1916) was a British barrister and army Major.
Son of John Rolls, 1st Baron Llangattock and his wife Georgiana Marcia Maclean, he was born in London and educated at Christ Church, Oxford, graduating B.A in 1893 and M.A in 1896.
He was a Barrister of the Inner Temple, London, and served for many years with the 1st Monmouth Volunteer Artillery, retiring with the rank of captain and honorary major. In January 1915 he joined the Royal Field Artillery.
In 1900 he was High Sheriff of Monmouth, and Mayor in 1906-07. He was also a JP and Deputy Lieutenant and county councillor for Monmouthshire.
He died 31 October 1916 at Boulogne, France from wounds received at the Battle of the Somme.
He never married; his younger brother Henry Allan Rolls, who was heir presumptive, had died four months previously, and his youngest brother, Charles Rolls of Rolls Royce fame, had died 6 years earlier; thus the title became extinct.
Baron Llangattock's estate was valued at more than ₤1.1 million. [The Times 30 November, 1916; Issue 41338] His sister Eleanor Shelley-Rolls was the main beneficiary, and he bequeathed £100,000 to the Archdeaconry of Monmouth.
