He was commissioned a second-lieutenant of the Suffolk Yeomanry (The Duke of York's Own Loyal Suffolk Hussars) on 26 March 1902. His London house built in 1902/03 in South Street, Mayfair, London, was designed by Detmar Blow. It was later the home of Lord Dunglass, the birthplace of Alec Douglas-Home, and the home of Dame Barbara Cartland. Quilter was elected MP for Sudbury in Suffolk in 1910, a constituency held by his father until 1906. He held the seat until the 1918 general election, when he did not stand again. His younger brother, Lt. Col. John Arnold Cuthbert Quilter served in the Royal Naval Division in World War 1, and was killed at Gallipoli on 6 May 1915; Quilter's battalion had included the poet Rupert Brooke, who died of illness on 23 April. Another brother was the composer Roger Quilter./ Hill House was bought by Major Quilter in 1901; it lay at the centre of a 102 acre farm and is a Grade II listed 16th/17th century house in Sprites Lane, Pinewood, Suffolk. In 1920 the name changed Belstead House, with the building remodelled by Harold Hooper and Garrard in 1936, during which much of the original building was lost, although expanded using material from other period houses available locally. Belstead House was bought by East Suffolk County Council in 1948 to provide accommodation for High Court Judges visiting Ipswich. It was also used as venue for adult education, a use which increased when it was no longer used by the judges after 1974. Very good indeed. Signedes.
