Sir Henry Gray Studholme, 1st Baronet CVO DL (13 June 1899 – 9 October 1987) was a British Conservative Party politician who was the MP for Tavistock from 1942 to 1966.

Early life

Studholme was the son of landowner William Paul Studholme and a grandson of New Zealand pioneer and politician John Studholme. He was educated at Eton College and Magdalen College, Oxford and served as an officer in the Scots Guards.[1]

Parliament

Studholme was Member of Parliament (MP) for Tavistock from a 1942 by-election until his retirement in 1966, when he was succeeded by Michael Heseltine. He served under Winston Churchill and then Anthony Eden as Vice-Chamberlain of the Household (i.e. a whip) from 1951 to 1956. In 1956, he was created a Baronet of Perridge in the County of Devon. He was Joint Honorary Treasury of the Conservative Party from 1956 to 1962.

Michael Crick wrote that Studholme was a diligent constituency MP but an "appalling speaker", and he thus benefitted from serving as a whip, as they seldom speak during debates.[1]

Family

Studholme married Judith Joan Mary Whitbread, daughter of Henry William Whitbread and granddaughter of Samuel Whitbread, in 1929. They had two sons and a daughter.[2]

Studholme later served as a deputy lieutenant of Devon in 1969. He died in Plymouth on 9 October 1987, aged 88.[2][3] He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son Paul.
