Thomas Pitt Hamilton Cholmondeley, only son, 4th Lord Delamere, born 14 August 1900, died 13 April 1979
Thomas Pitt Hamilton Cholmondeley the 4th Baron, was the leading light in the small circle of rich Kenyan landowners who enjoyed a lavish and decadent lifestyle of drink, drugs and wife-swapping described in the book and film 'White Mischief'. The book relates the story of Josslyn Victor Hay, 22nd Earl of Erroll. He was shot dead and the husband of his most recent conquest, Diana, Lady Delves Broughton, was brought to trial. Sir Jock Delves Broughton was acquitted through lack of evidence and returned to England. However, he committed suicide by an overdose of morphine in the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool shortly afterwards. It was not until 66 years later that evidence finally emerged that he was the killer.
