Lord George Augustus Henry Cavendish, 2th surviving son of the 4th Duke of Devonshire, married in 1782 Lady Elizabeth Compton, daughter and their of the 7th Earl of Northampton and through her inherited estates in Sussex (including Compton Place near Eastbourne) and Somerset. Some outlying Cavendish properties, including Latimer in Buckinghamshire and Keighley, Yorkshire, were settled on him and he also inherited the Holker (Lancashire) estate from his uncle Lord George Augustus Cavendish, to whom it had passed from the Lowther family. Lord George Augustus Henry Cavendish was created 1st Earl of Burlington in 1831 and died in 1834. His grandson who succeeded him as 2nd Earl became 7th Duke of Devonshire in 1858 bringing various properties back into the main line of the Cavendish family. The Holker estate passed to Lord Richard Cavendish, younger brother of the 9th Duke of Devonshire. Latimer and other properties were settled on the Hon Charles Compton Cavendish, youngest son of the 1st Earl of Burlington. Cavendish was created 1st Baron Chesham in 1858. |
