Baron Feversham

Baron Feversham

Baron Feversham is a title that has been created twice, once in the Peerage of Great Britain and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The first creation, in the Peerage of Great Britain, came in 1747 in favour of Anthony Duncombe, who had earlier represented Salisbury and Downton in the House of Commons. However, the barony became extinct on his death in 1763. The peerage was revived in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1826 in favour of Charles Duncombe, who was created Baron Feversham, of Duncombe Park in the County of York. He was a former Member of Parliament for Shaftesbury, Aldborough, Heytesbury and Newport. His son, the second Baron, sat as a Conservative Member of Parliament for Yorkshire and the North Riding of Yorkshire.

He was succeeded by his son, the third Baron. He represented East Retford and the North Riding of Yorkshire in the House of Commons as a Conservative. In 1868 he was created Viscount Helmsley, of Helmsley in the North Riding of the County of York, and Earl of Feversham, of Ryedale in the North Riding of the County of York. He was succeeded by his grandson, the second Earl, who sat in Parliament as a Conservative representative for Thirsk and Malton. He was killed in the First World War, when the titles were inherited by his son, the third Earl. He notably served as a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from 1934 to 1936 in the National Government. On his death in 1963 the viscountcy and earldom became extinct. However, he was succeeded in the barony of Feversham by his distant relative (his fourth cousin), the sixth and (as of 2007) present Baron. He is the great-great-grandson of Admiral Hon. Arthur Duncombe, fourth son of the first Baron.

Several other members of the Duncombe family have also gained distinction. The Hon. Arthur Duncombe, younger son of the first Baron, was an Admiral in the Royal Navy and Member of Parliament. His son Arthur Duncombe was a Conservative Member of Parliament. The Very Reverend Augustus Duncombe (1814-1880), younger son of the first Baron, was Dean of York. The Hon. Octavius Duncombe, younger son of the first Baron, represented the North Riding of Yorkshire in Parliament.

The ancestral seat of the Duncombe family is Duncombe Park near Helmsley in Yorkshire.
