Early life

Chandos-Pole was born at Dalbury Lees, South Derbyshire, Derbyshire on 4 February 1853.[1] He was the eldest son of Edward Sacheverell Chandos-Pole (1826–1873), and Lady Anna Caroline Stanhope (1832–1914). Among his ten siblings were Carolina Chandos-Pole (who married Lord Claud John Hamilton, a son of the 1st Duke of Abercorn),[2] and Alianore Chandos-Pole (who married Capt. Sir Wroth Lethbridge, 5th Baronet, and, after their divorce, her first cousin, Hon. Walter Yarde-Buller).[3]

His paternal grandparents were Edward Sacheverell Chandos-Pole and Anna Maria Wilmot.[4] His paternal uncle, Henry Chandos Pole Gell, took the arms and additional surname "Gell" when he succeeded to the estate at Hopton Hall.[5][6] His aunt, Charlotte Chandos-Pole, married Hon. John Yarde-Buller (a son of the 1st Baron Churston),[7] and other aunt, Eleanor Chandos-Pole, married Vice-Admiral Henry Bagot (a son of Rt. Rev. Hon. Richard Bagot).[2] His maternal grandparents were Leicester Stanhope, 5th Earl of Harrington and the former Elizabeth Williams Green.[8]

He was educated at Eton College from 1862 to 1869, where he played cricket.[9]

He was a Justice of the Peace for Derbyshire.[10] Upon his father's death in 1873, he inherited the family property of Radbourne Hall.[10][11][12] Like his father and grandfather before him, he served as High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1905.[13]

On 7 March 1882 Chandos-Pole married Violet Katharine Beckett-Denison (1860–1883), a daughter of William Beckett-Denison (a younger son of Sir Edmund Beckett, 4th Baronet) and Hon.
