Viscount Langford

Viscount Langford

Viscount Langford was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1766 when Elizabeth Rowley was made Baroness Summerhill and Viscountess Langford. She was the wife of Hercules Langford Rowley, a member of the Irish Privy Council. The title became extinct in 1796 on the death of the second Viscount. The Rowley estates were inherited by Clotworthy Taylor, fourth son of Thomas Taylor, 1st Earl of Bective (whose eldest son was created Marquess of Headfort in 1800) by his wife Jane, daughter of Hercules Langford Rowley and the Viscountess Langford. He assumed by Royal license the surname of Rowley in 1796 and in 1800 the Langford title was revived when he was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Langford. This title is still extant.
