Background
He was the third son of Wentworth Beaumont, 1st Baron Allendale and his wife Lady Margaret Anne de Burgh, daughter of Ulick de Burgh, 1st Marquess of Clanricarde.[3] Beaumont was educated at Eton College and then at Cheltenham College.[4] He studied at Balliol College, Oxford, obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree.[4] On 26 May 1900, he married Elisa Mercedes Grace, daughter of Michael Paul Grace. She drowned on 10 August 1917.[5] Their only son was Michael Wentworth Beaumont.[5] He was invested as a Knight of Grace of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem in 1918[6] and was appointed High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire in the next year.[5]
Political career
He contested King's Lynn in 1895, thereafter Buckingham in 1900 and Barnard Castle three years later.[4] Beaumont finally entered the British House of Commons in 1906, sitting for Eastbourne until January 1910 when he chose not to defend his seat.[1] He briefly sat in the Commons at the same time as his older brother Wentworth Beaumont. He contested the 1913 London County Council election as a Progressive candidate for Clapham
