Jennifer Forwood, 11th Baroness Arlington

Jennifer Jane Forwood, 11th Baroness Arlington (born 7 May 1939 in London, née Nelson) is the daughter of General Sir Eustace John Blois 'John' Nelson (died 1993) and Lady Margaret Jane Fitzroy (born 1916), the sister of the 9th Duke of Grafton.

On 8 December 1965, she married Cpt. Rodney Simon Dudley Forwood, a younger son of Sir Dudley Forwood, 3rd Baronet. They have two sons:

Hon. Patrick John Dudley Forwood (b. 23 April 1967)
Hon. James Roland Nelson Forwood (b. 16 March 1969)

She was educated at Downham School for Girls, Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex (otherwise Down Hall).

In May 1999, she succeeded as Baroness Arlington when the abeyance of the barony was terminated.^[1] She took her seat in the House of Lords on 27 May 1999, and remained in the House until 11 November 1999 when the House of Lords Act 1999 took effect. She made her first, and only, speech the week after the death of her husband, who had helped her to prepare it, on 18 October 1999 in a series of questions to the Transport Minister in the Lords, on the subject of speeding.^[2]

Baroness Arlington having 'won her fight' per the summary of her House of Lords speech by Anthony Gueterbock, 18th Baron Berkeley, she would need to mount a well-founded petition once again to restore the Earldom of Arlington and Viscountcy of Thetford should she wish to do so, as one of the four co-heirs to those titles.
