William George Howard, 8th Earl of Carlisle

[2] Howard was educated at Eton College and Christ Church, Oxford.

[1] Carlisle was Rector of Londesborough (a living in the gift of the Earl of Londesborough) in the East Riding of Yorkshire from 1832 for more than forty years until 1877,[1] although from 1866, due to Lord Howard's mental incapacity, his duties were performed by his replacement.

He succeeded to the title on 5 December 1864 on the death of his elder brother George Howard, 7th Earl of Carlisle, who never married.

[1] On his death, the title passed to his nephew George Howard, 9th Earl of Carlisle.
