Political career

Calthorpe was elected to the House of Commons as one of the two Members of Parliament (MPs) for Worcestershire East at a by-election in February 1859.[2] He was re-elected at the general election later in 1859 and again in 1865, and held the seat until May 1868,[2] when he succeeded his father in the barony and took his seat in the House of Lords.

Personal life

Lord Calthorpe, a member of the Gough-Calthorpe family, died at Grosvenor Square, London, in June 1893, aged 66. He never married and was succeeded in the barony by his younger brother, Augustus Gough-Calthorpe, 6th Baron Calthorpe.
