Background

Conolly-Carew was born as the eldest child to William Conolly-Carew, 6th Baron Carew, and his wife, Lady Sylvia Gwendoline Eva (née) Maitland, the daughter of the 15th Earl of Lauderdale.

Equestrianism

He also participated in the 2000 Summer Olympics, where he finished 38th in the individual eventing and was part of the team that finished 9th in the team eventing. [1]

Politics

As his title of Baron Carew had been created in both the Peerage of Ireland and the Peerage of the United Kingdom, he could sit as a member of the House of Lords from the death of his father, the 6th Baron, in 1994 until his seat was abolished by the House of Lords Act 1999. He sat as a crossbencher. [2]
