Baron Croft

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baron Croft, of Bournemouth in the County of Southampton, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1940 for the Conservative politician Henry Page Croft. He had already been created a Baronet in 1924. Croft was the grandson of Reverend Richard Croft, third son of Sir Richard Croft, 6th Baronet, of Croft Castle. As of 2007 the titles are held by the first Baron's grandson, the third Baron, who succeeded his father in 1997. As a descendant of the sixth Croft Baronet of Croft Castle he is also in remainder to this title.
