Becoming a colonial administrator, and ultimately Prime Minister of Malta, he was also an English MP, and was made in 1928 Baron Strickland of Sizergh, which he had rescued by acquiring it from his fourth cousin in 1896. Having no surviving sons, he settled it on his eldest daughter, Mary, wife of Henry Hornyold. Sizergh Castle, Cumbria
