Viscount Cave

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Viscount Cave, of Richmond in the County of Surrey, was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1918 for the lawyer and Conservative politician Sir George Cave, who later served as Lord Chancellor. On the day of his death in 1928 his resignation as Lord Chancellor had been accepted and it had been announced that he would be created an earl. The earldom was instead bestowed upon his widow Anne, who was created Countess Cave of Richmond. The couple had no children and the viscountcy became extinct on Lord Cave's death, as did the earldom when his widow died in 1938.
