Career edit

Sturt was the son of Henry Sturt, 1st Baron Alington. He was elected a Member of Parliament for the East Dorset division in an 1891 by-election. In late 1902 he indicated his intention not to seek re-election,[1] but he succeeded to the barony in February 1904 and automatically triggered another by-election.[2]
