Viscount Hanworth

Ernest Pollock,
1st Viscount Hanworth.

Viscount Hanworth, of Hanworth in the County of Middlesex, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

The title was created on 17 January 1936 for the judge turned Conservative Member of Parliament who achieved the judicial position of Master of the Rolls, Ernest Pollock, 1st Baron Hanworth. He had already been created a Baronet, of Hanworth in the County of Middlesex, on 27 November 1922, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom, and Baron Hanworth, of the same territorial designation, on 28 January 1926.

As of 2012 the titles are held by the first Viscount's great-grandson, the third Viscount, who succeeded his father in 1996. As a descendant of Sir Frederick Pollock, 1st Baronet, of Hatton, he is also in remainder to this title, which is currently held by his kinsman Sir George Frederick Pollock, 5th Baronet.

Victorian forebears and societal background

Pollock was the fifth son of Mr George Pollock, fourth son of Sir Frederick Pollock (1st Baronet, of Hatton) (elder brother of Field Marshal Sir George Pollock, 1st Baronet, of The Khyber Pass). The Pollock family did not figure in the history of the wealthiest estates and manors of the area until the early 19th century. By 1911, a large estate, Temple Hatton in Hatton a neighbourhood in the parish of Bedfont is recorded as [lately] occupied by Lady Pollock but had become a charitable institution for homeless boys.[1]
