[edit] Baron Sandys of Ombersley

Baron Sandys of Ombersley is a title that has been created twice, once in the Peerage of Great Britain and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

The title was first created in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1743 when the former Chancellor of the Exchequer Samuel Sandys was made Baron Sandys. This title became extinct on the death of his son Edwin, the second Baron, in 1797. The family estates were inherited by Edwin's niece Mary Hill, Marchioness of Downshire, wife of Arthur Hill, 2nd Marquess of Downshire. In 1802 the Barony of Sandys was revived in favour of her when she was created Baroness Sandys, of Ombersley in the County of Worcester, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The title was created with remainder to her younger sons Lord Arthur Moyses William Hill, Lord Arthur Marcus Cecil Hill, Lord Arthur Augustus Edwin Hill and Lord George Augustus Hill successively, and failing them to her eldest son Arthur Blundell, Earl of Hillsborough (later 3rd Marquess of Downshire). The present holder of the Barony is a descendant of Lord George Augustus. The heir presumptive to the title is his kinsman the Marquess of Downshire.

The family seat is Ombersley Court near Droitwich in Worcestershire.
