Sir William Henry Fremantle {{post-nominals|country=GBR|GCH|PC}} (28 December 1766{{snd}}19 October 1850) was a British courtier and politician. He served as Treasurer of the Household from 1826 to 1837.

Background

Fremantle was the son of John Fremantle, of Aston Abbots, Buckinghamshire, by his wife Frances Edwards, daughter of John Edwards, of Bristol. He was the brother of Sir Thomas Fremantle and the uncle of Thomas Fremantle, 1st Baron Cottesloe, and Sir Charles Fremantle.[1]

Political career

Fremantle began his parliamentary career by being elected MP for the Irish borough of Enniskillen at a by-election on 31 July 1806. He represented the seat until the dissolution of Parliament on 24 October 1806.[2][3] He served under Lord Grenville as Junior Secretary to the Treasury between 1806 and 1807.{{citation needed|date=March 2011}} He stood for Saltash in November 1806, was initially defeated but returned on petition in February 1807. He stood for Saltash once again in May 1807 alongside his brother Thomas. This time there was a double return and in February 1808 Fremantle was declared not elected.[4] In May 1808 he was successfully returned for Tain Burghs, a seat he held until 1812,[5] and then represented Buckingham until 1827.[6] He was sworn of the Privy Council in 1822.[7] In 1826 he was appointed Treasurer of the Household, which he remained until 1837.{{citation needed|date=March 2011}} He was also Ranger of Windsor Great Park.[1]

Personal life

Fremantle married Selina Mary Elwell, daughter of Sir John Elwell, 4th Baronet, and widow of Felton Lionel Hervey, in 1797. She died in November 1841. Fremantle died in October 1850, aged 83.[1] Following the death of his brother, Stephen, he acted as a proxy father to his nephew, John Fremantle who went on to fight in the Peninsular War and at Waterloo.[8]
