Baron Grantchester

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baron Grantchester, of Knightsbridge in the City of Westminster, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1953 for Alfred Suenson-Taylor, a banker and Liberal politician. As of 2007 the title is held by his grandson, the third Baron, who succeeded his father in 1995. In 2003 he replaced the deceased Lord Milner of Leeds as one of the ninety elected hereditary peers that are allowed to remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act of 1999. Lord Grantchester sits on the Labour benches.
