Baron Trefgarne
Baron Trefgarne, of Cleddau in the County of Pembroke, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created in 1947 for the barrister, journalist and politician, George Garro-Jones. In 1954 he assumed by deed poll the surname of Trefgarne in lieu of his patronymic.[2] As of 2016 the title is held by his son, the second Baron, who succeeded in 1960.
