Tankerville Chamberlayne

Tankerville Chamberlayne (9 August 1843 – 17 May 1924) was a landowner in Hampshire and a member of parliament, serving the Southampton constituency three times, as an Independent and Conservative. He was deprived of his seat after the 1895 General Election because of the indiscretion of one of his campaign workers and his having headed a procession which raised suspicion of having supplied beer to supporters. He subsequently raised the question of false electioneering statements in Parliament.

He was a member of the Carlton Club and the Royal Thames Yacht Club and a Justice of the Peace for Hampshire, as well as being Lord of the Manors of Hound, North Baddesley,Woolston and Barton Peveril (near Eastleigh) in Hampshire and East Norton in Leicestershire.

Chamberlayne was born at Pangbourne, Berkshire, the second son of Thomas Chamberlayne (1805–1876) and Amelia (née Onslow). He was educated at Eton and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he took his BA in 1865.

Chamberlayne was descended from Count John de Tankerville who came over to England from Normandy with William the Conqueror. The de Tankerville family home was the castle at Tancarville near Le Havre.
