Baldwin was active in the National Farmers Union and after being elected as a Conservative MP in 1945, he became a Conservative spokesman on Agriculture, and was knighted in 1958. Baldwin served as the Member of Parliament for Leominster from 1945-59. At one point, he was a Deputy Lieutenant of Herefordshire. He died at his home in Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, aged 82.
