Coleridge was the eldest son of John Duke Coleridge, 1st Baron Coleridge, Lord Chief Justice of England, and Jane Fortescue Seymour. His grandfather, John Taylor Coleridge, was the nephew of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was elected Member of Parliament for Sheffield Attercliffe in 1885, but resigned in 1894 when he succeeded his father as second Baron Coleridge. Coleridge became Q.C. in 1892 and served as a Judge of the High Court of Justice from 1907 to 1923.
Lord Coleridge married Mary Alethea Mackarness on 3 August in 1876. They had three children, one son and two daughters. He died in September 1927, aged 76, and was succeeded in the barony by his only son Geoffrey.
