Pelham was born at Berg Apton, Norfolk, on September 19 in 1846, son of John Thomas Pelham, bishop of Norwich, third son of the 2nd earl oi Chichester.
He was educated at Harrow and at Trinity College, Oxford, where he took a first class in literae humaniores in 1869.
He was a tutor of Exeter College from 1869 to 1890.
In 1887 he became university reader in ancient history, and two years later was elected to the Camden professorship.
He was also a fellow of Brasenose College, honorary fellow of Exeter, a fellow of the British Academy and of other learned societies, and a governor of Harrow School.
Pelham was 16t lord of the Treasury for over ten years (1743–54) and highly regarded by his contemporaries.
But time has faded his reputation between the vividly coloured careers of Walpole and Pitt the Elder.
The brothers quickly realized that Walpole was becoming the man to support.
However, in obtaining the Treasury in 1743 Pelham had a firm power base and by the end of 1744 Carteret had resigned.
From school onwards his principal subject was ancient and more particularly Roman history. He soon began to publish articles on this theme (first in Journal of Philology, 1876), while his lectures, which (under the system then growing up) were open to members of other colleges besides Exeter, attracted increasingly large audiences; he also planned, with the Clarendon Press, a detailed History of the Roman Empire, which he was not destined to carry out.
In 1887, he succeeded W. W. Capes as 'common fund reader' in ancient history, and in 1889 he became Camden Professor of Ancient History in succession to George Rawlinson, a post to which a fellowship at Brasenose College is attached. As professor he developed the lectures and teaching which he had been giving as college tutor and reader, and attracted even larger audiences.
He was elected honorary fellow of Exeter in 1895, was an original fellow of the British Academy in 1902 and received the hon. degree of LL. D. at Aberdeen in 1906. He became F. S. A. in 1890.
He died in the president's lodgings at Trinity on 12 February 1907.
