Henry Howard (MP for Penrith)
Henry "Harry" Charles Howard JP DL (17 September 1850 – 4 August 1914) was an English Liberal politician and landowner in Cumbria, where he resided at Greystoke Castle. He was a member of the Howards of Greystoke, a Protestant branch of the aristocratic Howard family.
Howard was born in 1850 at Greystoke Castle, the eldest son of politician Henry Howard (1802–1875), a son of Lord Henry Howard-Molyneux-Howard (younger brother of Bernard Howard, 12th Duke of Norfolk). His mother was Charlotte Caroline Georgina Long, daughter of Henry Lawes Long and Lady Catharine Walpole (daughter of the 2nd Earl of Orford).
He was a member of the prominent Howard family headed by the Duke of Norfolk, but within a Protestant branch descended from the 11th Duke, who had converted to Anglicanism in 1780.
Sir Stafford Howard, Robert Mowbray Howard, and Esmé Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Penrith were his younger brothers.
Greystoke Castle was largely destroyed by fire in 1868 and subsequently rebuilt by his father. After his father's death in 1875, he succeeded to his estates in Cumberland and Thornbury Castle, Gloucestershire.
He was educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A., 1874).
Howard entered Parliament for Penrith in December 1885. Initially a Liberal, he disagreed with William Ewart Gladstone's support of Irish Home Rule and joined the Liberal Unionists to vote against it. He only held the seat until July the following year when he was defeated by Conservative James Lowther.
He left active politics for public work in Cumberland, though he maintained his connection with the Mid-Cumberland Liberal Association.
