Lord Randolph Henry Spencer Churchill 1849 1895 British statesman
Lord Randolph Henry Spencer Churchill (13 February 1849 – 24 January 1895) was a British statesman. Lord Randolph was the third son of the 7th Duke of Marlborough and his wife Frances Anne Emily Vane-Tempest (1822–1899), daughter of the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry. He was the father of the future wartime Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Winston Churchill, who wrote the first major biography of Lord Randolph. His management of the House was on the whole successful, and was marked by tact, discretion and temper.

The sequel, however, was entirely different. The cabinet was reconstructed with Goschen as Chancellor of the Exchequer (Lord Randolph had "forgotten Goschen", as he is said to have remarked). For the next few years there was some speculation about a return to frontline politics, as often happens when a Cabinet minister resigns, but Churchill's own career as a Conservative chief was over. Although he continued to sit in Parliament, his health was in serious decline throughout the 1890s. He bestowed much attention on society, travel and sport. He was an ardent supporter of the turf, and, in 1889, he won the Epsom Oaks with a mare named the Abbesse de Jouarre. In 1891 he wen
