Background and educationThe head of an old Cheshire family, Legh was the eldest son of George John Legh of East Hall, High Legh, and Mary, daughter of John Blackburne. He was educated at Eton College and Christ Church, Oxford. Legh served as a major in the 2nd Royal Cheshire Militia.[1] He was also a deputy lieutenant and justice of the peace for Cheshire and served as high sheriff of the county in 1838. Political careerLegh was elected to House of Commons for Cheshire North in 1841, a seat he held until 1847 and again between 1848 and 1868, when it was abolished and he was instead returned for the newly created Mid Cheshire constituency, which he represented until 1873.

He died in June 1877, aged 72, and was succeeded in the family estate by descendants of his brother, later Barons Grey of Codnor.
