Administrative/Biographical history:

The barony of Calthorpe originated in Sir Henry Gough, who married Barbara, daughter and heir of Reynolds Calthorpe of Elvetham. Henry Gough took the surname Calthorpe in 1796 when he was created Baron Calthorpe. He was succeeded by his sons Charles Gough-Calthorpe, 2nd Baron Calthorpe (1786-1807), George Gough-Calthorpe, 3rd Baron Calthorpe (1787-1851) and Frederick Gough-Calthorpe, 4th Baron Calthorpe (1790-1868).

Frederick was succeeded by 3 of his sons: Frederick Henry William Gough-Calthorpe, 5th Baron Calthorpe (1826-1893), Augustus Cholmondeley Gough-Calthorpe, 6th Baron Calthorpe (1829-1910) and Sir Somerset John Gough-Calthorpe, 7th Baron Calthorpe (1831-1912). Sir Somerset was followed by his son Somerset Frederick Gough-Calthorpe, 8th Baron Calthorpe (1862-1940). The title became extinct in 1997 on the death of the 10th Baron.
