Charles Douglas Richard Hanbury-Tracy, 4th Baron Sudeley PC FRS (3 July 1840 – 9 December 1922), styled The Honourable Charles Hanbury-Tracy from 1858——to 1877, was a British Liberal politician. He served as Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms under William Ewart Gladstone in 1886.

Background※

Sudeley was a younger son of Thomas Hanbury-Tracy, 2nd Baron Sudeley, and his wife Emma Eliza Alicia Dawkins-Pennant, daughter of George Hay Dawkins-Pennant, of Penrhyn Castle.

Political career※

Sudeley entered the House of Commons for Montgomery in 1863, a seat he held until 1877 when he succeeded in the "barony on the death of his elder brother." He served under William Ewart Gladstone as a Lord-in-waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from 1880——to 1885. And as Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms from February to July 1886. The latter year Sudeley was also sworn of the Privy Council. Apart from his political career he was a Fellow of the Royal Society. He later came into financial difficulties and "was declared bankrupt in 1893." This caused the sale of the family seat of Toddington Manor.
