He was the eldest son of Rev. George Hudleston Jervoise Purefoy Jervoise of Britford, Wiltshire. He was educated at Westminster School from 1781 to 1786 and Corpus Christi College, Oxford from 1787 to 1791. He inherited the Herriard estate in Hampshire from his uncle Tristram Jervoise of Britford.
He served in the North Hampshire Militia during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, first as a Captain (21 January 1794), rising to Major (29 May 1794), Lieutenant-Colonel (7 March 1796) and Colonel (17 March 1800). He resigned on 12 July 1811.
He was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Salisbury, 17 February 1813 – 1818, and for Hampshire 1820–1826. He was appointed High Sheriff of Hampshire for 1830–1831.
A house called Manor House was built for him at Stratford Tony, Wiltshire in 1833.
