Sherard was a prominent landowner in Leicestershire and an unswerving Whig. Following the accession of George I he received a British barony on the eve of the coronation, adding to and eclipsing his inherited Irish title. He first sat as Baron Harborough in the 1715 Parliament. His career will be discussed in detail in the second part of this work.
