Arthur Henry Chichester, 3rd Baron Templemore (16 September 1854 – 28 September 1924), styled The Honourable Arthur Chichester between 1854 and 1906, was an Anglo-Irish peer.
Chichester was born on 16 September 1854. He was the son of Harry Chichester, 2nd Baron Templemore, and his first wife, Laura Caroline Jane Paget. After his mother's death in December 1871, his father married Lady Victoria Ashley-Cooper, daughter of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lady Emily Cowper (a daughter of 5th Earl Cowper), in 1873. From his father's second marriage, he had a younger half-sister, the Hon. Hilda Caroline Chichester, who married Sir Victor George Corkran.[1]
His paternal grandparents were Arthur Chichester, 1st Baron Templemore, and Lady Augusta Paget (a daughter of Field Marshal Henry Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey).[2] His maternal grandparents were Sir Arthur Paget and Lady Augusta Fane (a daughter of 10th Earl of Westmorland). His mother Laura was a first cousin of his paternal grandmother Lady Augusta.[3]
He was educated at Eton College,[1] and served as private secretary to R. A. Cross (later Viscount Cross) when he was Home Secretary from 1874 to 1880.[4]
Career
He was a Major in the 3rd Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment, and served as High Sheriff of County Wexford in 1890.[1] The family seat was Dunbrody House near Arthurstown in the south-west of County Wexford. Arthurstown was named for the 1st Earl of Donegall.[5]
Upon the death of his father on 10 June 1906, he succeeded as 3rd Baron Templemore, of Templemore in County Donegal in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. He served as a Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant of County Wexford.[3]
