Sir Hugh Arthur Henry Cholmeley, 3rd Baronet DL, JP (18 October 1839 – 14 February 1904)[1] was a British soldier and politician.
He was the eldest son of Sir Montague John Cholmeley, 2nd Baronet and Lady Georgiana Beauclerk, fifth daughter of the 8th Duke of St Albans.[2] In 1868, he succeeded his father as baronet.[1] Cholmeley was educated at Harrow School.[3] He served then in the Grenadier Guards and eventually reached the rank of Captain.[4] From 1868 to 1880, he was Member of Parliament (MP) for Grantham.[5] He became High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1885 and was a Justice of Peace and Deputy Lieutenant for the same county.[3]
On 12 August 1874, he married Edith Sophia Rowley, daughter of Sir Charles Rowley, 4th Baronet.[4] They had four daughters and a son, Montague, who succeeded to the baronetcy.[4]
Cholmeley is commemorated at St Andrew and St Mary's Church, Stoke Rochford, by a stained glass window erected by his widow and children. Further windows in the church were erected, one to his son Montague, the other to Lady Cholmeley.[6]
