Edit ProfileCareer
Henry Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey was his maternal great-grandfather. Hylton entered the Diplomatic Service in 1888, but in 1895 he was elected to the House of Commons for Wells. He held this seat until 1899, when he succeeded his father as third Baron Hylton and entered the House of Lords.
In June 1915 Hylton was appointed a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) in the newly formed coalition government, and in 1918 he was promoted him to Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard.
The coalition government of David Lloyd George fell in 1922, but Hylton continued as Deputy Chief Whip also under Andrew Bonar Law and Stanley Baldwin. However, after the first Baldwin government fell in January 1924, he never returned to office.
He was created Viscount Hylton and owned much of Chaldon, of which he was Lord of the manor. Lord Hylton married Lady Alice Adeliza Hervey, daughter of Frederick Hervey, 3rd Marquess of Bristol, in 1896.
Lady Hylton died in 1962.
