Henry Pelham-Clinton, 7th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne
- Henry Pelham-Clinton, 7th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne
Henry Pelham-Clinton (1864 – 1928) was an English nobleman.
Known as Lord Lincoln until he inherited the dukedom from his father in 1879. Henry was educated at Eton College and then Magdalen College, Oxford.
He held a number of local offices appropriate with his rank and station, such as Lord High Steward of Retford, Master Forrester of Dartmoor and Keeper of St Briavel's Castle.
He had poor health and played a small part in public life. As a staunch Anglo-Catholic he spoke on ecclesiastical issues in the House of Lords.
One of his achievements was the restoration of the fortunes of his family estate. In 1879 a serious fire destroyed much of Clumber House, he had it magnificently rebuilt to designs by the younger Charles Barry. The duke was actively involved in the rebuilding process, and in particular in the design and building of the magnificent St Mary the Virgin Chapel in the grounds. He was also responsible for the establishment of the Clumber Choir School.
Some of the 7th Duke's personal papers are now held at Manuscripts and Special Collections, The University of Nottingham.
