The elder son of Richard Lumley, 12th Earl of Scarbrough, and his wife Lady Elizabeth, Lumley was educated at Eton College[1] and was a Page of Honour to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother from 1 March 1989[2] to 1 January 1991.[3] He succeeded his father in 2004.[4] In 2007, he married Henrietta Elfrida Helen Boyson.[1][5] Scarbrough was appointed a Deputy Lord Lieutenant of South Yorkshire on 11 April 2011.[6]

He lives at Sandbeck Park, near Maltby, South Yorkshire, and takes an active part in local charities, including serving as Patron of the Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind.[7] The Sandbeck Park estate was reported in 2007 to cover about 5,000 acres.[5] The house is near Maltby Colliery, a large deep coal mine which closed in 2013.[8]
