From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles John Robert Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes-Trefusis, 21st Baron Clinton, GCVO, PC (18 January 1863–5 July 1957) was a British peer.
Trefusis was the eldest son of the 20th Baron Clinton and his wife, Harriet. On 1 June 1886, he married his third cousin Lady Jane McDonnell (15 June 1863–27 Aug 1953) (a daughter of the 5th Earl of Antrim) and they had two daughters:
- Hon. Harriet (14 Nov 1887–15 Mar 1958), married Maj. Henry Nevile Fane (1895–2 Aug 1947).
- Hon. Fenella (19 Aug 1889–19 July 1966), married Hon. John Bowes-Lyon.
From 1898 until he succeeded to his father's title in 1904, Trefusis was Convener of Kincardineshire County Council. In 1911, Lord Clinton was admitted to the Duchy of Cornwall Council and was appointed the duchy's Keeper of the Privy Seal in 1913 and Lord Warden of the Stannaries in 1921. From 1918-19, he was Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries and Chairman of the Forestry Commission from 1927-29. Lord Clinton had also been admitted to the Privy Council in 1927 and on his retirement in 1933, he was appointed a GCVO.
Upon Lord Clinton's death in 1957, his title became abeyant between his two daughters until it was called out of abeyance for his grandson (by Harriet), Gerard in 1965.
