John Talbot, 16th Earl of Shrewsbury, 16th Earl of Waterford (18 March 1791 – 9 November 1852) was a British peer and aristocrat. Sometimes known as "Good Earl John", he has been described as "the most prominent British Catholic of his day",[1] although he was the last Earl of Shrewsbury to follow the Catholic faith.[2] John was also Lord High Steward of Ireland, an office the Earls of Shrewsbury have held since 1446.[2]
