He was baptised in Lambeth in 1792 as Edmund Wakefield Mead
In 1830 Edmund Wakefield Meade, connected to the Waldos by marriage, had taken the additional name of Waldo.
On the 25th Sept 1826 he married Harriet Bloomfield Rochfort
He inherited Hever Castle in 1841 but had no love for Hever. He lived in the north of England until buying and restoring Stonewall Park, three miles from the Castle.
Hever became a working farm, being leased out to a series of tenant farmers.
The Castle was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, King Henry VIII's second wife, who became Queen of England for just 1,000 days.
Hever later passed into the ownership of another of Henry VIII's wives, Anne of Cleves, and from 1557 onwards it was owned by a number of families including the Waldegraves, the Humphreys and the Meade Waldos.
