| Activity | Charles Gordon, 10th Marquess of Huntly (1792-1863) was a major landowner by the end of his life whose estates covered some 120,000 acres at their height. These estates clearly required significant effort to manage, however land administration was not his only occupation. Before ascending to the House of Lords, he spent more than a decade as a Member of Parliament and served in the Commons at a time of momentous legislation such as the debates over Catholic Emancipation. He changed his party allegiance from the Tories to the Whigs in 1830 for unknown reasons. In addition to his political life he made efforts to ingratiate himself with the royal family, serving as a Lord of the Bedchamber from 1826-1830 which allowed him privileged proximity to King George IV. His recreational interests included a long career in cricket as well as horticulture and improving his Orton estates. |
