  Frankland was elected to parliament for Thirsk in 1815, resigning his seat in 1834. He succeeded his father as baronet in 1831, and in 1836 inherited property from Sir Robert Greenhill-Russell, 1st Baronet, adding Russell to his surname. The estate included Chequers Court, which he improved, with Edward Buckton Lamb brought in as architect. He was High Sheriff of Yorkshire in 1838.
