  Marquess of Cholmondeley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title of Marquess of Cholmondeley (pronounced "Chumly") was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1815 for the Earl of Cholmondeley, an English title dating to 1706.
As such, he is, along with the Duke of Norfolk (the Earl Marshal), one of only two hereditary peers to retain automatic seats in the House of Lords after the passage of the House of Lords Act 1999.
The courtesy title of the Marquess`s heir (=eldest son) is Earl of Rocksavage, the one of Lord Rocksavage's heir (=eldest son) Viscount Malpas.

Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orford, KG, KB, PC (26 August 1676 – 18 March 1745) was a British statesman who is generally regarded as having been the first Prime Minister of Great Britain.
Upon the death of the third Earl, the Earldom was inherited by the first Earl's younger son, Horace Walpole (a famous writer), who died without heirs in 1797.
This collection was sold by his grandson, the 3rd Earl of Orford, to the Russian Empress Catherine II in 1779.

 Lord Great Chamberlain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The position is an hereditary one, held in gross, and was originally held by Robert Malet, a son of one of the leading companions of William the Conqueror.
Thereafter, the Earls of Oxford held the title almost continuously until 1526, with a few intermissions due to the forfeiture of some Earls for treason.
Thus, the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth Earls of Oxford held the position on a hereditary basis until 1626, when the eighteenth Earl died, again leaving a distant relative as a male heir, but a closer one as a female heir.

For instance, the eldest son of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry is the Earl of Dalkeith, even though the Duke is also the Marquess of Dumfriesshire, a senior title to the Earldom of Dalkeith.
For instance, the eldest son of the Earl of Devon is Lord Courtenay, even though the Earl has no barony of that name, and similarly the eldest son of the Earl of Guilford is Lord North.
Thus a baron's wife is called "baroness", an earl's wife is called a "countess", a duke's wife a "duchess", etc. Despite being referred to as a "peeress", she does not, however, become a peer "in her own right": these are 'styles', not substantive titles.

By the end of the 17th century, though, the then Hugh Cholmondeley enjoyed a favoured position as a courtier of William III and was ennobled as the 1st Earl of Cholmondeley.
Its demise, at the hands of the 4th Earl, was not through financial disaster, although the Earl's great-uncle, the aesthete and antiquarian Horace Walpole, had feared this would be the case at one stage in the 18th century owing to the 3rd Earl's extravagance.
The Earl was created the 1st Marquess of Cholmondeley in 1815 and soon after, in 1817, he added a new dining room, followed two years later by a family wing and then, after that date, tall octagonal angle turrets sprouted at the corners of the building.

Originally several hundred Dukes, Marquesses, Earls, Viscounts, and Barons were eligible to sit; reforms in 1999 mean that now only ninety-two may, and only two of these inherit seats in the Lords without facing election.
The two peers who hold seats automatically are the two peers who hold royal appointments connected with Parliament: the Lord Great Chamberlain (currently the present Marquess of Cholmondeley) and the Earl Marshal (an hereditary office held by the Dukes of Norfolk).
The Royal Dukes (the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of York, the Duke of Gloucester, and the Duke of Kent as well as the Earl of Wessex) and peers who themselves were created hereditary peers were not exempted.

Upon the Earl of Rochester's decease, he conceived that the crown would hardly overlook him for president of the council, and deeply resented that disappointment.
He had now shaken off all remains of patience or temper, and, from the contemplation of his own disappointments, fell, as it is natural, to find fault with the public management, and to assure his neighbours in the country, that the nation was in imminent danger of being ruined.
The Earl of Wharton was observed in the House to smile, and put his hands to his neck when any of the ministry was speaking, by which he would have it understood that some heads were in danger.
