Baron Bingley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Bingley is a peerage title that has been created three times, twice in the Peerage of Great Britain and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
The first creation came in 1713 in the Peerage of Great Britain, when the former Chancellor of the Exchequer Robert Benson was made Baron Bingley, in the County of York. Upon his death, the peerage became extinct. However, the title was revived in 1763 for his son-in-law, George Fox-Lane, who was also created Baron Bingley, in the County of York. He had earlier represented Hedon and York in the House of Commons. Fox-Lane's son and heir Robert Fox-Lane pre-deceased his father, and the Barony became extinct on the latter's death in 1773.
The most recent creation came in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1933, when the Conservative politician George Richard Lane-Fox, was created Baron Bingley, of Bramham in the County of York. He was a former Member of Parliament for Barkston Ash. Lord Bingley had four daughters but no sons and on his death in 1947 this title became extinct as well.
