Information About

Hugh Cavendish, Baron Cavendish Of Furness




He was created a Life Peer by Margaret Thatcher in 1990 and is the Heir Presumptive to the Dukedom Of Devonshire (he is not expected to inherit, as he is much older than the present duke's unmarried son, but his descendents may do so). Cavendish married Grania Mary Caulfield in 1970 and they have three children. He served as a Lord In Waiting ( 1990 - 1992 ).

He is the titular Abbot Of Furness and he is the Chairman of the Holker Estate Group. He has also chaired the Morecambe and Lonsdale Conservative Association ( 1975 - 1978 ) and the Board of Governors of St Anne's School, Windermere ( 1983 - 1989 ). He is currently a director of Nirex Ltd (since 1993 ) and was the High Sheriff Of Cumbria ( 1978 ) and a member of the Cumbria County Council ( 1985 - 1990 ).
