Biography

Sir Henry Gray Studholme, 1st Baronet CVO (13 June 1899 – 9 October 1987) was a British Conservative Party politician.

Early life

Studholme was the son of landowner William Paul Studholme and a grandson of New Zealand pioneer and politician John Studholme. He was educated at Eton College and Magdalen College, Oxford and served as an officer in the Scots Guards.

Parliament

Studholme was Member of Parliament (MP) for Tavistock from a 1942 by-election until his retirement in 1966, when he was succeeded by Michael Heseltine. He served under Winston Churchill and then Anthony Eden as Vice-Chamberlain of the Household (i.e. a whip) from 1951 to 1956. In 1956, he was created a Baronet of Perridge in the County of Devon. He was Joint Honorary Treasury of the Conservative Party from 1956 to 1962.

Michael Crick comments that his position as a whip suited him as he was "an appalling speaker" (whips by convention seldom speak in debates in the Commons), although he was considered a diligent constituency MP.

Family

Studholme married Judith Joan Mary Whitbread, daughter of Henry William Whitbread, in 1929. He died in October 1987, aged 88, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son Paul.

He later served as Deputy Lieutenant of Devon in 1969.
