He was born into an illustrious family as the fourth son of the 3rd Duke of Devonshire and as such had an auspicious beginning to life. He became Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1782 but died unmarried at the age of 64. He lived at Billing Hall in Northamptonshire which he had remodelled in the Palladian style and was considered to be a very honourable man and able politician by his contemporaries.
