Daniel Heneage Finch-Hatton
The Honourable and Reverend Daniel Heneage Finch-Hatton (5 May 1795 – 3 January 1866), was a Chaplain in Ordinary to Queen Victoria and Rector of Weldon, Northamptonshire.
Finch-Hatton was born at Eastwell Park on 5 May 1795. He was the third son of George Finch-Hatton, MP for Rochester, and Lady Elizabeth Murray, daughter of David Murray, 2nd Earl of Mansfield. His grandfather was the Hon. Edward Finch-Hatton, youngest son of Daniel Finch, 7th Earl of Winchilsea and Anne Hatton. His eldest brother was George William Finch-Hatton, later 10th Earl of Winchilsea. Later in 1841, Queen Victoria granted all his siblings the style and precedence of the son/daughter of an earl by royal warrant, as if their father had outlived his first cousin and became Earl of Winchilsea.
Jane Austen visited Eastwell in 1805 and said, "George (his brother) is a fine boy, and well behaved, but Daniel (then 10 y.o) chiefly delighted me; the good humour of his countenance is quite bewitching. After tea we had a cribbage-table, and he and I won two rubbers of his brother and Mrs. Mary (Finch, his aunt), Mr. Brett was the only person there, besides our two families."
He was educated at Wesminster and Christ's College, earning a Bachelor of Arts in 1818 and a Master of Arts in 1821.
Finch-Hatton was ordained as a Reverend into the Church of England and in 1823 was appointed Rector of Great Weldon, Northampthonshire, where his family owned Kirby Hall and some lands there. The living provided £430 a year.
Finch-Hatton inherited some money and silverware from his mother Lady Elizabeth when she died in June 1825. She had previously devised her fortune among her 5 younger children equally. He inherited about £2,500 and her stocks of £10,000 invested in 3 percent, her father the 2nd Earl further left his grandchildren £3,000 each. Previously when his father died, he also left him in his will £10,000.
When his uncle John Emilius Daniel Edward Finch-Hatton died in 1841 at Sandhurst Rectory, Kent (home of his sister Lady Emily), he left £500 to Daniel and £1,500 bank stock to his wife Lady Louisa. He also left their children £3,000 bank stock. He received in total about £30,000.
In 1840s, Finch-Hatton was also made heir to their very distant relative of the Hatton Baronets. The 10th Baronet having died without issue in 1812 and left his sisters co-heiresses, the unmarried sisters passed the estates down to the surviving sisters successively until Elizabeth Ann Hatton, who died in 1845. Daniel then inherited from them the Hatton Longstanton estates. His estates in Cambridgeshire generated about £4,000 a year.
