Encyclopedia > Marquess of Cholmondeley

The title of Marquess of Cholmondeley (pronounced "Chumly") was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1815 for the Earl of Cholmondeley, an English title dating to 1706.


The Marquess is one of the sharers in the office of Lord Great Chamberlain, and the various Marquesses have exercised the office for the entire reign of Queen Elizabeth II. As such, he is, along with the Duke of Norfolk (the Earl Marshal), one of only two hereditary peers to retain automatic seats in the House of Lords after the passage of the House of Lords Act 1999.


The Marquess holds the subsidiary titles of Earl of Cholmondeley in the Peerage of England (1706), Earl of Rocksavage in the Peerage of the UK (1815), Viscount Malpas in the Peerage of England (1706), Viscount Cholmondeley in the Peerage of Ireland (1661), Baron Cholmondeley of Namptwich in the Peerage of England (1689), Baron Newburgh in the Peerage of Great Britain (1716), and Baron Newborough in the Peerage of Ireland.
