Lady Gwendolen Onslow was the daughter of William 4th Earl of Onslow. Born in 1881, she grew up with Clandon Park as a family home, but also lived in New Zealand when her father was Governor. He was succeeded by his son, the sixth Earl. He served in the Conservative administrations of Winston Churchill, Anthony Eden and Harold Macmillan as Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard (Deputy Chief Whip in the House of Lords) for nine years. From 1971 to 2011, the titles were held by his son, the seventh Earl, who succeeded in 1971. The seventh Earl was one of the ninety elected hereditary peers who remained in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999, and sat like his ancestors on the Conservative benches. He is the only hereditary peer to have appeared as a panellist on Have I Got News For You. Upon his death on 14 May 2011, [4] he was succeeded by his son, now the eighth Earl, who inherited Clandon Park, the 1000-acre agricultural Parkland Estate in Surrey in January 2017. Richard's wife Elizabeth sadly drowned in the pond at the Archbishop’s Palace at Croydon a year later. It’s said that she committed suicide due to ‘melancholy’ at the death of her husband. The family seat of the Earls of Onslow is Clandon Park in Surrey. Although Clandon House and gardens were gifted and endowed by the Onslow family to the National Trust in 1955, the surrounding agricultural estate called Clandon Park, covering over 1,000 acres and including areas of Grade II-listed parkland, remains in the ownership of The Earl and Countess of Onslow. In 1832–33, when Britain was on the verge of the abolition of slavery, Arthur sold the Onslow family plantation in Jamaica. It was sold to Charles Orlando Hodgson, who lived in the Guildford area.Thomas’ younger cousin Arthur spent much of his youth at Clandon and his political career was supported by his uncle Richard. Arthur became MP for Guildford and then became Speaker of the House of Commons in 1728. This was inspired by an earlier painting by Jacques-Louis David of the same subject. The painting hung at Clandon for a while after Arthur died and is now in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. Selling the family plantation Despite having become a French citizen, Edward’s home was searched in 1793 before he was arrested and imprisoned. He was freed the following year and it seemed like danger had passed for a time.

After his wife Mary, to whom he was devoted, died in 1830, he moved from Surrey to Richmond. Arthur’s only son and heir also died at the age of 36 in 1856. Patron of the arts Richard was called the ‘Red Fox of Surrey’ by Oliver Cromwell after his cunning behaviour during the English Civil War. His son, Sir Arthur Onslow, went on to become MP for Surrey like his father. Onslow states in his autobiography that his attitude to music was transformed by his experience of hearing the overture to Étienne Méhul's opera Stratonice in Paris in 1801. In Onslow's own later words: "On hearing this piece, I experienced so lively an emotion in the depths of my soul that I sensed myself at once penetrated by feelings previously unknown to me; even today this moment is present in my thought. After this, I saw music with other eyes; the veil which had hidden its beauties from me was rent; it became the source of my most intimate joy, and the faithful companion of my life." [3] This led him to compose his first string quintets (Op. 1 nos. 1–3) and string quartets (Op. 4 nos. 1–3), although he had not at this stage received any composition tuition. These were published at his own expense; Onslow was always wealthy and did not need critical or financial support. The critic François-Joseph Fétis noted that, despite his absence of training, Onslow "had all the leisure necessary to overcome these obstacles". [1] Onslow learnt to play the cello, and to play the chamber music of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven with other local amateurs. [3] However, aware of the need to develop his technical musical skills, in 1808 he began to study composition with Anton Reicha in Paris. At this time he also married a French heiress, Charlotte Françoise Delphine de Fontanges, by whom he was to have three children. [1] Château de Bellerives, Pérignat (demolished 1990), on an old postcard Violet was the daughter of the 3rd Baron Politmore and a prominent society figure. As the First World War raged on mainland Europe, Violet took charge as Commandant of Clandon Park Hospital and was also responsible for two nearby convalescent hospitals.

The Clandon estate and Earldom had passed to William’s son Richard by the time the First World War broke out in 1914. The new Lord Onslow and his wife Violet Onslow (née Bampfylde) were keen to support the war effort and so converted Clandon into a military hospital. Violet Onslow d'Ortigue, Joseph (1833). "George Onslow" in Révue de Paris, 1ère série, LVI, Novembre 1833, pp.148–163. Accessed 11 September 2014. (in French) George Onslow, 4th Baron Onslow (1731–1814) (created Baron Cranley in 1776 and Earl of Onslow in 1801), second cousin of the 3rd Baron Onslow is everything his sister-in-law Hyacinth despises, and threatens her social-climbing efforts (though they do interact in nice ways toward one another: kissing - though accidentally - in The Father Christmas Suit, and dancing together in Sea Fever). He is an overweight and unemployed man who earns his money through betting on horses, spends his time drinking beer, eating crisps and smoking cigarettes, and watching television. On many occasions he watches horse racing, and one of the repeated elements of comedy is his method of operating his ancient TV set by banging on it. Onslow describes himself as "work-shy, bone idle, and out of condition" and has been known to ponder "the inconvenience of working." Whenever Onslow is unpleasantly surprised by something, such as running out of beer or being insulted, he usually retorts with his sarcastic catchphrase, "Oh, nice!" He habitually wears a baseball cap with the FH logo of New Zealand earth-moving and road construction company Fulton Hogan. Onslow is, however, able to "clean up" nicely, wearing more formal clothes, on occasion ( The Christening, Onslow's Birthday, and Sea Fever (a white tuxedo!)). Arms of Onslow: Argent, a Fess Gules, between six Cornish Choughs proper. Crest: An Eagle Sable, preying on a Partridge proper. Supporters: Dexter: On either side a Falcon close proper, belled Or.
