The son of the politician George Henry Cherry,[1] he was born in January 1822 at Kintbury, Berkshire.

A student of the Inner Temple, he was called to the bar in May 1848.[6] He was the High Sheriff of Berkshire in 1871 and served as a justice of the peace.[7][2] Cherry was the chairman of the Berkshire quarter sessions from 1885–87.
