Baxendell was born on 28 February 1925 in Runcorn, Cheshire to Roman Catholic parents Leslie Wilfred Edward Baxendell (1892–1968) and Evelyn Mary Gaskin (1895–1992). He was educated at St Francis Xavier's College in Liverpool, and the Royal School of Mines in London.[2] Baxendell joined Shell in 1946 as a petroleum engineer.

In 1973 he was appointed a managing director of Shell UK, which placed him on the Royal Dutch/Shell Group Committee of Managing Directors. The following year he became chairman of Shell UK. In 1979 he was elected chairman of Shell Transport and Trading, and in 1982 became chairman of the Committee of Managing Directors.[6] He was also chairman of Hawker Siddeley and was a director of Sun Life and Inchcape. Baxendell retired on 1 July 1985 at age 60.[7] He was knighted in 1981.[8]

In 1949, Baxendell married Rosemary Lacey. They had four children: Anne, Gillian, Peter, and John. Lady Baxendell died on 8 June 2021 at age 95.[9]
