Francis Pelham-Clinton-Hope, 8th Duke of Newcastle

Henry Francis Hope Pelham-Clinton-Hope, 8th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne (3 February 1866 – 20 April 1941) was an English nobleman.

Lord Francis held a commission as Lieutenant of the Nottinghamshire (Sherwood Rangers) Yeomanry until he resigned in April 1894.

In 1900 they made a tour of the world, and on their way home fell in with Captain [Putnam] Bradlee Strong,[3] at that time one of the handsomest and most popular men in the United States Army, and a special favourite with President McKinley.

After lengthy litigation in the Court of Chancery, he was able to break the entail on most of his grandmother's trusts, and sold 'Deepdene', Dorking, Surrey and Castleblayney in County Monaghan, Ireland.

They had 3 children: He inherited the dukedom from his brother, Henry Pelham-Clinton, in 1928 and died in 1941 aged 75 at Clumber Park.
