Baron Windlesham

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baron Windlesham, of Windlesham in the County of Surrey, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1937 for the Conservative politician George Hennessy. He had already been created a Baronet, of Windlesham in the County of Surrey, in 1927. In 1999 his grandson, the third Baron, was created a life peer as Baron Hennessy, of Windlesham in the County of Surrey, so that he could continue to sit in the House of Lords despite the passage of the House of Lords Act 1999, which removed the automatic right of hereditary peers to a seat in Parliament.
