He was the son of Sir Montague Cholmeley, 1st Baronet and his wife Elizabeth Harrison, daughter of John Harrison.[2] In 1831, he succeeded his father as baronet.[3] In 1826, Cholmeley replaced his father as Member of Parliament (MP) for Grantham, a seat he held until 1831.[4] He was High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1836[5] and represented North Lincolnshire from 1847 to 1852 and again from 1857 to 1874.[6]

On 10 February 1829, he married Lady Georgiana Beauclerk, fifth daughter of the 8th Duke of St Albans.[5] They had a daughter and a son, Hugh, who succeeded to the baronetcy.[2]
