Biography
Pole-Carew was born in Eaton Place, Marylebone in 1811, the son of Reginald Pole-Carew and Hon. Caroline Anne Lyttelton, daughter of William Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton. His father was a paternal descendant of the Pole baronets of Shute House. He was educated at Charterhouse School from 1824 to 1828, and then at Oriel College, Oxford, gaining a BA in 1833 and an MA in 1864.
He served as Conservative Member of Parliament for East Cornwall from 1845 until 1852, and unsuccessfully contested Liskeard in 1859. He served as High Sheriff of Cornwall in 1854–1855, and as Recorder of East Looe from 1857 to 1886.

He died on 20 January 1888 at the Villa Poralto, Cannes and is buried in the parish church at Antony, Cornwall.
