The Rt. Hon. Hugh George Cholmondeley, 5th Baron Delamere (/ˈtʃʌmli/; born 18 January 1934), styled The Honourable Hugh George Cholmondeley from birth until 1979, is a British peer.[1] He is a well-known figure in the evolution and development of post-colonial Kenya. He was educated at Magdalene College, Cambridge.[2] He owns the vast Soysambu Ranch in Kenya.

Personal

Lord Delamere was the eldest son of The 4th Baron Delamere, whom he succeeded as baron in 1979.[3] His mother was Phyllis Anne Montagu Douglas Scott, granddaughter of both The 6th Duke of Buccleuch and The 7th Duke of Rutland.[1] Hugh Delamere (as he is known to family and friends) is an indirect descendant of Sir Robert Walpole, the first Prime Minister of Great Britain.[4]

On 11 April 1964, Cholmondeley married Anne Renison, daughter of Sir Patrick Renison.[1] The couple had one son:

Vale Royal Great House, formerly the seat of the Barons of Delamere -- sold in 1947

Lands and estates

In this period, the Cholmondeley family continued to own land in Cheshire, and to have other holdings in the United Kingdom; but the former baronial seat of Vale Royal Abbey was sold in 1947.[5] Lord Delamere has lived, worked and invested most of his life in building modern Kenya. He continues to own the vast Soysambu Ranch in Kenya.
