built 615 days ago
The Duke of Marlborough was born 2, 1822, and was educated at Eton and Oriel College, Oxford. As Marquis of Blandford he was returned to the House of Commons in April, 1844, before reaching his twenty-second year, as a member in the Conservative interest for the family borough of Woodstock. He represented his borough, except for two years, 1845 and 1846, until he succeeded his father as Duke of Marlborough, July 1, 1857. He became prominent in Parliament through his efforts to increase the usefulness of the Established Church. Among other measures which he fathered and succeeded in passing was an act to amend Sir Robert Peel's acts "for making better provision for the spiritual care of populous parishes." Load Blandford's measure, which was called the "new parishes act," converted existing districts, under certain conditions, into new parishes for ecclesiastical purposes.
