Beaumont Hotham, 3rd Baron Hotham
- Beaumont Hotham, 3rd Baron Hotham
Beaumont Hotham, 3rd Baron Hotham (9 August 1794 - 12 December 1870), was a British soldier, peer and long-standing Conservative Member of Parliament.
Hotham was the son of Lieutenant-Colonel Beaumont Hotham and Philadelphia Dyke. His father died when he was five years old. Hotham fought at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 and later achieved the rank of General. In 1814 he had succeeded his grandfather as third Baron Hotham, but as this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords. He was instead elected to the House of Commons for Leominster in 1820, a seat he held, with a brief exception for a few months in 1831, until 1841, and then represented the East Riding of Yorkshire between 1841 and 1868. By the time he retired from the House of Commons he was one of the longest-serving Members of Parliament.
Lord Hotham died in December 1870, aged 76. He never married and was succeeded in his titles by his nephew Charles.
