George Henry Cadogan, 5th Earl Cadogan, KG, PC (12 May 1840 – 6 March 1915) was a British Conservative politician. He served as Lord Privy Seal from 1886 to 1892 (after 1887 in the Cabinet), and again in the cabinet as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland from 1895 to 1902 and was also the first Mayor of Chelsea in 1900. On 16 May 1865, he married Lady Beatrix Craven (the fourth daughter of the 2nd Earl of Craven) and they had nine children:
*Albert Edward George Henry, briefly Viscount Chelsea (1866-1878), a godchild of Albert, Prince of Wales.
*Henry Arthur, Viscount Chelsea (1868-1908)
*Gerald Oakley, briefly Viscount Chelsea (1869-1933)
*Lady Emily Julia (1871-1909), married the 3rd Baron Lurgan.
*Hon. Lewin Edward (1872-1917)
*Lady Sophie Beatrix Mary (1874-1943), married Sir Samuel Scott, 6th Baronet.
*Hon. William George Sydney (1879-1914), killed in action.
*Hon. Edward Cecil George (1880-1962)
*Hon. Alexander George Montagu (1884-1968)
Lord Cadogan's wife died in 1907 and on 12 January 1911, he married his first cousin once removed, Adele.
By 1888, at the initiative of the Fifth Earl, building work was well under way at the south-eastern end of London's Sloane Street to rebuild Holy Trinity Church to the design of the leading Arts and Crafts architect John Dando Sedding. Cadogan funded the entire initial operation, including the commissioning of numerous fittings for the new building by leading sculptors and designers including Henry Wilson (who assumed overall artistic control when Sedding died prematurely), Onslow Ford, Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris and H H Armstead. Money was found for the installation of a great organ by James John Walker, which quickly became famous for its cathedral-like effect in the opulent acoustic of the building. The church (and its fittings, including the organ) remain a testament to a very particularly focussed example of aristocratic patronage.
