John William Strutt, Third Baron Rayleigh

John William Strutt, Third Baron Rayleigh

Lord Rayleigh was born John William Strutt into a barony begun in 1821 on the occasion of King George IV’s coronation. He was the eldest of seven children, born on the 12th November 1842. His father, John James Strutt, had been Second Baron for only six years, during which time he had married Clara Latouche Vicars, a lady over twenty five years his junior.

His inquisitive scientific mind showed itself when he was four (despite the fact that he had seemed rather unintelligent when he was unable to speak at the age of almost three). His aunt Emily complained at his constant questioning, such as: “What becomes of the water spilt on the tablecloth after it has dried up?”
