Feilden was born at Clifton, Bristol, the second son of Joseph Feilden of Witton Park, Lancashire. He was an officer in the 60th Rifles. He was elected member of parliament for Blackburn in 1865, but lost the seat in 1868. He was elected MP for North Lancashire in 1880, and when the constituency was restructured became MP for Chorley.
