Sturt was the son of Henry Sturt, 1st Baron Alington. He was elected a Member of Parliament for the East Dorset division in an 1891 by-election. In late 1902 he indicated his intention not to seek re-election,[1] but he succeeded to the barony in February 1904 and automatically triggered another by-election.[2]
Sturt married on 25 June 1883 Lady Féodorovna Yorke, daughter of Charles Philip Yorke, 5th Earl of Hardwicke. In 1897, she was one of the guests at the Duchess of Devonshire's Diamond Jubilee Costume Ball.[3]
They had six children.
