BiographyThe son of John Hobart, 1st Earl of Buckinghamshire by his first wife Judith Britiffe, he was educated at Westminster School and Christ's College, Cambridge.[1] He was Member of Parliament for Norwich from 1747 to 1756, having also been elected for St Ives in 1747 but opting to sit for Norwich. He held office as Comptroller of the Household in 1755-56 and as a Lord of the Bedchamber from 1756 to 1767, having succeeded his father as Earl in 1756.[2] He was Ambassador from the United Kingdom to Russia from 1762 to 1765 and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland from 1776 to 1780, when his Chief Secretary was Sir Richard Heron, Bt. In the latter role he had to concede free trade and, more importantly, the enactment of the Papists Act 1778 which partially repealed the Penal laws and provided measures for the relief of Roman Catholics and Dissenters. FamilyHe married firstly Mary Anne Drury, daughter of Sir Thomas Drury, 1st Baronet, and secondly Caroline, daughter of William James Conolly, but died without surviving male issue and was succeeded by his half-brother George Hobart, 3rd Earl of Buckinghamshire. He had three daughters by his first wife:[3]
and three sons, who died young, and one daughter by his second wife:
He was laid to rest in the family mausoleum at Blickling Hall, the family seat in Norfolk. The bodies of his two wives are also in the mausoleum, which is an unusual grade II* listed pyramidal structure designed by architect Joseph Bonomi the Elder, based on the Roman tomb of Cestius Gallus.[4] References1. ^{{acad|id=HBRT739J|name=Hobart, John}} 2. ^{{Cite ODNB|title=Hobart, John, second earl of Buckinghamshire|id=13394|first=James|last=Kelly}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.thepeerage.com/p1141.htm#i11405|title=John Hobart, 2nd Earl of Buckinghamshire|date=29 July 2013|website=The Peerage|publisher=Darryl Lundy|accessdate=18 January 2019}} 4. ^{{NHLE| num = 1051437|desc= THE MAUSOLEUM | accessdate= 12 March 2014}}
