Baron Rendlesham is a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1806 for the businessman Peter Isaac Thellusson, who also represented Midhurst, Malmesbury and Bossiney in Parliament. The Thellusson (pronounced "Tellusson") family were of French Protestant origin, but settled in Geneva, Switzerland, after the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre of 1572. A later member of the family, Peter Thellusson, emigrated to Britain in 1762 where he established a successful London business. From the wealth acquired, he purchased several estates around the country, notably Brodsworth Hall in Yorkshire. His eldest son was the aforementioned Peter Isaac Thellusson, 1st Baron Rendlesham, who took over the family business.
