Baron Thurlow

Baron Thurlow

Baron Thurlow, of Thurlow in the County of Suffolk, is a title in the Peerage of Great Britain. It was created in 1792 for the lawyer and politician Edward Thurlow, with remainder to his younger brothers and the heirs male of their bodies. Thurlow had already on his appointment as Lord Chancellor in 1778 been created Baron Thurlow, of Ashfield in the County of Suffolk, in the Peerage of Great Britain, with remainder to the heirs male of his body. Lord Thurlow never married and on his death in 1806 the barony of 1778 became extinct, while he was succeeded in the barony of 1792 according to the special remainder by his nephew Edward. The latter was the son of the Right Reverend Thomas Thurlow, Bishop of Durham from 1787 to 1791. His grandson, the fifth Baron, was a Liberal politician and served as Paymaster-General in 1886. As of 2007 the title is held by his grandson, the eighth Baron, who succeeded his elder brother in 1971. Lord Thurlow is a diplomat and notably served as High Commissioner to New Zealand and as Governor of the Bahamas.

Sir Roualeyn Cumming-Bruce, younger twin brother of the eighth Baron, was a Lord Justice of Appeal.
