Hon. Charles Middleton, PC, MC, JP, DL, MP was a younger son of Thomas Crompton Waterhouse, of an old Yorkshire family from White Knowle, who had bought Lomberdale Hall from the estate of the younger Thomas Bateman. Charles was born in 1893 and served in the 1st Life Guards in the Great War, being awarded an MC. In 1917 he married Beryl Ford, an Australian. He had inherited the Lomberdale estate from his father in 1912, and in 1913 bought the Middleton Hall estate (also formerly a Bateman property) from the Mellands. He determined on a career in politics after his war service, and twice stood unsuccessfully for a Derbyshire seat before being elected in 1924 for South Leicestershire, which he held until 1945 and, as SE Leicestershire, from 1950 until he resigned in 1957. He served under Winston Churchill as Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade 1941-1945, and was later chairman of the Public Accounts Committee. He was made a Privy Counsellor in 1944. In 1938, when he donated this chalice, he also extended Middleton Hall (built in 1824-25), adding a billiard room in a matching Gothic style and generally modernising the house. He was at that time HM Comptroller of the Royal Household. The parish church of Middleton was built as a mission church in 1864, and restored in 1899.
