In 1831, at the time he inherited his mother's estate, he was the richest commoner in England.[2]

Origins

He was born in Old Burlington Street in Mayfair, London, the eldest son of Thomas Richard Beaumont by his wife Diana Wentworth, daughter of Sir Thomas Wentworth, 5th Baronet.[4]

Career

Beaumont was educated at Eton College and St John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1813.[3] He served as lieutenant-colonel of the Northumberland Militia, but resigned in 1824.[4] In 1826, he fought a duel with John Lambton later 1st Earl of Durham.[4] He was president of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland and a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron.[4]

In 1816 Beaumont stood as Member of Parliament (MP) for Northumberland, the same constituency his father had represented before.[5] He lost this seat in 1826, however was successful for Stafford in a by-election in 1826.[6] After the general election of 1830 Beaumont was returned again for Northumberland, until in 1832, the constituency was split into a north and south division.[5] Beaumont was elected for the latter, and sat then for South Northumberland until his retirement from politic in 1837.[5] Initially a Tory, he was considered a Liberal from 1820.[4]
