Henry Fox-Strangways, 5th Earl of Ilchester
- Henry Fox-Strangways, 5th Earl of Ilchester
Henry Edward Fox-Strangways, 5th Earl of Ilchester, PC (13 February 1847 – 6 December 1905), was a British peer and Liberal politician.
Ilchester was the son of Hon. John George Charles Fox-Strangways, fourth son of Henry Thomas Fox-Strangways, 2nd Earl of Ilchester. His mother was Amelia Marjoribanks, daughter of Edward Marjoribanks. He succeeded his uncle in the earldom of Ilchester in 1865 and was able to take his seat in the House of Lords on his 21st birthday in 1868. In January 1874, at the age of only 26, he was appointed Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms (Government Chief Whip in the House of Lords) in the Liberal administration of William Gladstone, a post he held until the government fell the following month. He was admitted to the Privy Council the same year. However, Lord Ilchester never held political office again but served as Lord Lieutenant of Dorset from 1885 to 1905.
Lord Ilchester married Mary Eleanor Anne, daughter of Richard Dawson, 1st Earl of Dartrey, in 1872. He died in December 1905, aged 58, and was succeeded in his titles by his son Giles Stephen Holland Fox-Strangways. Lady Ilchester died in 1935.
