The son of Sir John Edensor Heathcote of Longton Hall. He was elected the Member of Parliament (MP) for Coventry in 1826 and at about the same time rebuilt Apedale Hall, near Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire, in the Elizabethan style. He died in Genoa, Italy, in 1850.
His grandson Captain Justinian H. Edwards-Heathcote was the father of Katharine Maud Edwards-Heathcote, mother of Oswald Mosley, the founder of the British Union of Fascists, who lived for a time at Apedale Hall.
