Viscount Runciman of Doxford

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Viscount Runciman of Doxford, of Doxford in the County of Northumberland, is a peerage title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was conferred on Walter Runciman, a politician whose career included service as a Member of Parliament, President of the Board of Trade and Lord President of the Council. Lord Runciman of Doxford also holds the title Baron Runciman, of Shoreston in the County of Northumberland, which was created for the 1st Viscount's father in 1933, and which was still held by his father at the time of the creation of the Viscountcy, hence the title being Runciman of Doxford rather than simply Runciman. He is also a United Kingdom baronet (1906).
