George Henry Hugh Cholmondeley, 4th Marquess of Cholmondeley PC DL (/ˈtʃʌmli/; 3 July 1858 – 16 March 1923) was a British peer and a hereditary joint Lord Great Chamberlain of England. He exercised the office of Lord Great Chamberlain during the reign of King Edward VII (1901–1910).
Cholmondeley was a direct descendant of Sir Robert Walpole, the first Prime Minister of Great Britain.
He was born at Kirtlington Park, Oxfordshire, the eldest son of George Cholmondeley, Viscount Malpas, and Susan Caroline Dashwood.
As his father died prior to his grandfather, Cholmondeley succeeded to his grandfather's land, estates and title upon his death in 1884. He was styled Marquess of Cholmondeley and Earl of Rockford in the peerage of the United Kingdom; Earl Cholmondeley, Viscount Malpas and Baron Cholmondeley in the peerage of England, Baron Newburgh in the peerage of Great Britain, and Viscount Cholmondeley and Baron Newborough in the peerage of Ireland.
He was a Lieutenant in the service of the Cheshire Yeomanry. Later, he held the office of Deputy Lieutenant of Norfolk.
He inherited approximately 34,000 acres (140 km2) of land from his grandfather. The family seats are Houghton Hall, Norfolk, and Cholmondeley Castle, which is surrounded by a 7,500 acres (30 km2) estate near Malpas, Cheshire.
