Thomas Cholmondeley, 1st Baron Delamere
- Thomas Cholmondeley, 1st Baron Delamere
Thomas Cholmondeley, 1st Baron Delamere (9 August 1767 – 30 October 1855), was a British peer and Member of Parliament.
Delamere was the son of Thomas Chomondeley (pronounced "Chumley"), Member of Parliament for Cheshire, and Dorothy Cowper. On his father's side he descended from Thomas Cholmondeley (d. 1652), younger brother of Robert Cholmondeley, 1st Earl of Leinster and Hugh Cholmondeley, father of Robert Cholmondeley, 1st Viscount Cholmondeley, from whom the Marquesses of Cholmondeley descend. He was elected to the House of Commons for his father's old seat of Cheshire in 1796, which he retained until 1812, and also served as High Sheriff of Cheshire. In 1821 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Delamere, of Vale Royal in the County of Chester.
Lord Delamere married Henrietta Elizabeth Williams-Wynn, daughter of Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn, 4th Baronet, and Charlotte, daughter of Prime Minister George Grenville, in 1810. He died in October 1855, aged 88, and was succeeded in the barony by his eldest son Hugh Cholmondeley.
