EspañolRICHARD CHALONER, 3RD BARON GISBOROUGH
'Thomas Richard John Long Chaloner, 3rd Baron Gisborough' (b. 1 July 1927) is a British Peer.
He was born at Hurworth Old Hall, Darlington, the son of Thomas Chaloner, 2nd Baron Gisborough and his wife Esther Hall. He succeeded his father as 3rd Baron in 1951. In his maiden speech in the House of Lords in 1954, he suggested the painting of a red circle at the scene of every road accident might make people more careful, thus reducing the number of casualties [1]. In 1958 on the issue of overcrowding in British prisons, he advocated that kid-glove treatment should be disregarded in favour of a return to the birch, as a method of preventing first offenders having to serve prison sentences[2] .
In 1967 he was appointed to the Board of Universal Television Yorkshire. In 1973, he was appointed Deputy Lieutenant of the North Riding of Yorkshire and in 1981 he became Lord Lieutenant of Cleveland.
Gisborough married Shane Newton, granddaughter of Sir Louis Newton, in 1960. They have two sons. The heir apparent to the Barony of Gisborough is their eldest son Hon. Thomas Peregrine Long Chaloner (b. 1961).
