The son of John David Rolt of and his wife Sophia née Butt, he was born in Deptford. Both of his grandfathers held senior positions in the town's Royal Dockyard. He entered business as a timber merchant and contractor. In 1820 he married Mary Brocklebank, daughter of Thomas Brocklebank, the managing director of the General Steam Navigation Company, and formed a shipping company, Brocklebank & Rolt, in partnership with his father in law.[2] In 1852 Rolt was chosen by the Conservative Party to contest the parliamentary constituency of Greenwich. The two-seat constituency, which included Rolt's home town of Deptford was held by two Liberal Party members of parliament. Rolt topped the poll and was elected to the Commons along with Montague Chambers of the Liberals.[3] In 1857 Rolt took over C.J. Mare and Company, an engineering and shipbuilding company owned by his son in law, Charles John Mare, who had become insolvent.[4] He formed the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Ltd of which he became chairman.[5][6][7] He resigned from parliament by accepting the office of Steward of the Manor of Hempholme.[8] Rolt devoted himself to his shipping and shipbuilding interests. He was an associate of fellow director, Lord Alan Spencer-Churchill in a number of ventures.[9] He was Master of the Worshipful Company of Drapers and was created a count in the Nobility of Italy in 1871.[10] He died at his home Trafalgar House in London's Regent's Park in 1882 aged 83.[1][10] References1. ^1 {{Rayment-hc|g|2|date=March 2012}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Dod|first=Robert Phipps|authorlink=Robert Phipps Dod|title=Dod's Parliamentary Companion|url=https://archive.org/stream/dodsparliamenta01dodgoog#page/n259/mode/2up|year=1852|publisher=Dod's Parliamentary Companion Limited|pages=259–260}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=The General Election.
