Charles William Slingsby "Sim" Duncombe, 3rd Earl of Feversham DSO (2 November 1906 – 4 September 1963), styled the Hon.
[1][2] Feversham took his seat on the Conservative benches in the House of Lords and served under Ramsay MacDonald and Stanley Baldwin as a Lord-in-waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from 1934 to 1936 and under Baldwin and later Neville Chamberlain as Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries and Deputy Minister of Fisheries from 1936 to 1939.
Feversham was also a Lieutenant-Colonel in the 13th/18th Royal Hussars and an Honorary Colonel in the Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry and fought in the Second World War, where he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in 1945.
[4] They had one daughter: Although it was thought an heir to the title might be born, Anne Feversham "was disinclined to endure another pregnancy, not least if it meant forfeiting a hunting season".
On his death the earldom and viscountcy of Helmsley became extinct while he was succeeded in his junior title of Baron Feversham by his fourth cousin Peter Duncombe.
