Biography

Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes was born on 22 September 1920, the son of Ivo Murray Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, 20th Baron Saye and Sele, and Hersey Cecilia Hester Butler. Despite a family connection with Winchester College, he was educated at Eton, and then at New College, Oxford. During the Second World War he served in the Rifle Brigade (Prince Consort's Own) and was twice Mentioned in Despatches.

Fiennes was a trustee of the Ernest Cook Trust, which works for the preservation of English country houses and estates, from 1959 until 1995, serving as chairman from 1964 until 1990. In 1965 he changed his surname by Deed poll to Fiennes thereby relinquishing the surnames Twisleton and Wykeham.

When his father died on 21 October 1968, Fiennes succeeded him as 21st Baron Saye and Sele. He was a Fellow of Winchester College between 1967 and 1983. He became a Chartered Surveyor and was a partner of a company called Laws and Fiennes before becoming a regional director within Lloyds Bank (1983–90). Since 1979 he has been a Deputy Lieutenant (DL) of Oxfordshire.
