Baron Inglewood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baron Inglewood, of Hutton in the Forest in the County of Cumberland, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1964 for the Conservative politician Lieutenant-Colonel William Fletcher-Vane. He was the son of Lieutenant-Colonel Hon. William Lyonel Vane, younger brother of Henry de Vere Vane, 9th Baron Barnard, who had succeeded to the barony of Barnard in 1891 on the death of his distant relative Harry George Powlett, 4th Duke of Cleveland and 8th Baron Barnard. William Lyonel Vane and his brother the ninth Baron Barnard were both great-great-grandsons of Hon. Morgan Vane, younger son of Gilbert Vane, 2nd Baron Barnard, whose eldest son, the third Baron, was created Earl of Darlington, and from whom the Dukes of Cleveland descended. As of 2007 the title is held by Lord Inglewood's eldest son, the second Baron, who succeeded in 1989. He is also a Conservative politician and one of the ninety elected hereditary peers that remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act of 1999. Created in 1964, the barony of Inglewood is one of the last hereditary baronies created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

The family seat is Hutton-in-the-Forest, near Penrith in Cumbria. The title and the name of the house refer to the ancient Royal Forest of Inglewood.
