Educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, he became member of parliament for Newcastle-under-Lyme in 1823, being returned for Hastings three years later, and holding for a short time a subordinate position in Canning's ministry . Defeated in 1830 both at Newcastle-under-Lyme and then at Liverpool, Denison secured a seat as one of the members for Nottinghamshire in 1831; and after the great Reform Act he represented the southern division of that county from 1832 until the general election of 1837 . He represented Malton from 1841 to 185.7, and North Nottinghamshire from 1857 to 1872 . In April 1857 Denison was chosen Speaker of the House of Commons . Re-elected at the beginning of three successive parliaments he retained this position until February 1872, when he resigned and was created Viscount Ossington . He refused, however, to accept the pension usually given to retiring Speakers . In 1827 he had married Charlotte (d . 1889), daughter of William, 4th duke of Portland, but he left no children . He died on the 7th of March 1873, and his title became extinct .
