Baron Kenyon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lord Kenyon, Baron of Gredington, in the County of Flint, is a title in the Peerage of Great Britain. It was created in 1788 for the lawyer and judge Lloyd Kenyon. He served as Master of the Rolls and as Lord Chief Justice of England. Kenyon had already been created a Baronet, of Gredington in the County of Flint, in 1784. His grandson, the third Baron, briefly represented St Michael's in the House of Commons. His grandson, the fourth Baron, held minor office in the governments of Lord Salisbury, Arthur Balfour and David Lloyd George and also served as Lord Lieutenant of Denbighshire. In 1912 Lord Kenyon assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Tyrell. As of 2007 the titles are held by his grandson, the sixth Baron, who succeeded his father in 1993.
