At birth his name was William Hanbury, although he was a distant descendant of Sir [[James Bateman (banker)|James Bateman]] who had been [[Lord Mayor of London]] and was his 2nd great-grandfather. Hanbury studied at [[Eton College]] and then [[Christ Church, Oxford]] graduating from the later in 1798. In 1802 he inherited [[Shobdon Court]], near Leominster, Herefordshire from [[John Bateman, 2nd Viscount Bateman]].
He served as a Whig MP from Northampton from 1810 to 1818.  From 1819 to 1820 he was [[High Sheriff of Herefordshire]]. In 1835 Hanbury made an unsuccessful run for Parliament as a liberal.
In January 1837 Hanbury became the first [[Baron Bateman]] of Shobdon.  In February he had his name legally changed to William Bateman-Hanbury. In 1822 he had married Elizabeth Chichester, the granddaughter of [[Arthur Chichester, 1st Marquess of Donegall]]. They had four sons and four daughters. He was succeeded by his eldest son [[William Bateman-Hanbury, 2nd Baron Bateman]].
