Colvile was the son of Sir Charles Colvile and his wife Harriet Anne Bonell.

Colvile became MP for Derbyshire South in 1841, supporting Sir Robert Peel and held the seat until 1859. He regained it as a Liberal in 1865 and held it until 1868. He lived at Lullington Hall and was High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1875.[1]

Colvile married Katherine Sarah Georgina Russell, daughter of John Russell and Sophia Coussmaker. Their son Sir Henry Colvile became a major-general in the 2nd Boer War fighting at the Battle of Modder River.
