Baron Broadbridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baron Broadbridge, of Brighton in the County of Sussex, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1945 for the Conservative politician Sir George Broadbridge, 1st Baronet. He had already been created a Baronet, of Wargrave Place in the County of Sussex, in 1937. The title descended from father to son until the death of his grandson, the third Baron, in 2000. The late Baron was succeeded by his first cousin, the fourth and (As of 2010) present holder of the titles. He is the son of the Hon. Hugh Trevor Broadbridge, third son of the first Baron.
