Iain Norman Macleod (11 November 1913 – 20 July 1970) was a British Conservative Party politician.
Macleod had ankylosing spondylitis. He is buried in the churchyard of Gargrave Church in North Yorkshire, near his mother who had died seven weeks earlier.[1] Evelyn Macleod was struck down in June 1952 with meningitis and polio, but subsequently managed to walk again with the aid of sticks and worked hard to support her husband's career. After her husband's death she accepted a peerage in 1971 and took her seat in the House of Lords as Baroness Macleod of Borve.[1] Macleod's daughter Diana Heimann was a UK Independence Party candidate at Banbury in the 2005 general election.
His estate was valued for probate at £18,201 (around £250,000 at 2016 prices).[1][2]
