He was the son of Thomas Beaumont of The Oaks in Darton, Yorkshire, by his wife Anne Ayscough, daughter of Edward Ayscough.[3]

In 1794 Beaumont raised the 21st Light Dragoons and served as the regiment's colonel until 1802.[4] He entered the British House of Commons in 1795 and sat for Northumberland first in the Parliament of Great Britain, then in Parliament of the United Kingdom until 1818.[1]
