Manchester was Governor of Jamaica from 1808 to 1827, and prepared the colony for the emancipation of slaves.In 1815 he dealt with the aftermath of destruction of Port Royal by fire and of the plantations by a hurricane. Manchester Parish in Jamaica was named after him, while the capital of Mandeville was named after his son, Viscount Mandeville. After his return to Britain he served as Postmaster General between 1827 and 1830 (succeeding his younger brother Lord Frederick Montagu). He was also Lord Lieutenant of Huntingdonshire between 1793 and 1841.
