Marshall was born in Streatham, Surrey, a suburb of London. He was educated at Dulwich College and Trinity College, Dublin, and then joined his father's wholesale newspaper business in Fleet Street. Horace Brooks Marshall Sr (1830–1896) pioneered the sales of books and publications on the railways. As Horace Marshall and Son, it became one of the largest such businesses in the United Kingdom.[1]
He became alderman for Vintry Ward in 1909. He was 591st Lord Mayor of London in 1918–1919. As Lord Mayor during the First World War victory celebrations, he was particularly prominent, being appointed to the Privy Council (entitling him to the style "The Right Honourable") in 1919[6] and appointed Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO) in the 1920 New Year Honours.[7] Marshall was raised to the peerage in the 1921 New Year Honours as Baron Marshall of Chipstead, of Chipstead in the County of Surrey,[8][9] the first sitting alderman of the City of London to be so honoured.
He was buried at St Margaret's, Chipstead. His only son died in infancy and the barony thus became extinct upon his death. He had two daughters; the elder, Nellie, married J. Arthur Rank.
