From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Wodehouse, 2nd Baron Wodehouse (11 January 1770-31 May 1846), was a British peer and Member of Parliament.
Wodehouse was the eldest son of John Wodehouse, 1st Baron Wodehouse, and Sophia Berkeley. He was elected to the House of Commons for Great Bedwyn in 1796, a seat he held until 1802, and later represented Marlborough from 1828 to 1826. He also served as Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk. In 1834 he succeeded his father in the barony and entered the House of Lords.
Lord Kimberley married Charlotte Laura Norris, daughter of John Norris, in 1796. He died in 1846, aged 76, and was succeeded in the barony by his grandson John, who became a prominent Liberal politician and was created Earl of Kimberley in 1866.
