Lane-Fox was the son of James Fox-Lane, of Bramham Park, Yorkshire, by the Honourable Mary Lucy, daughter of George Pitt, 1st Baron Rivers. He was the brother of George Lane-Fox and the uncle of Augustus Pitt Rivers.[1]
Lane-Fox was returned to parliament as one of two representatives for Helston in 1832. He became the sole representative after the Great Reform Act of 1832 reduced the constituency to one seat. He lost the seat in 1835 [2] and remained out of the House of Commons until 1840, when he was returned for Beverley.[3] He only held the seat until 1841 but returned to parliament the following year as one of two representatives for Ipswich. [4] In 1847 he was once again elected for Beverley, a seat he held until 1852.[3]
Lane-Fox married Lady Charlotte Mary Anne Georgiana, daughter of George Osborne, 6th Duke of Leeds, in 1826. She died in January 1836, aged 44. Their eldest son Sackville succeeded his maternal uncle the Duke of Leeds as 12th Baron Conyers in 1859. Lane-Fox died in August 1874, aged 77.[1]
