Political career

Yorke was returned to Parliament as one of three representatives for Cambridgeshire in 1874 (succeeding his elder brother Lord Royston), a seat he held until his early death four years later.[2] He was also a Captain in the Cambridgeshire Militia, an Equerry to His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh and a Deputy Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire.[1]

On 21 December 1878, he died at 17 Curzon Street, Mayfair, London, aged 35. His wife survived him by almost 50 years and died on 21 November 1926, at "Hamble Clife," Southampton, Hampshire.[1]
