Viscount Kemsley

Viscount Kemsley, of Dropmore in the County of Buckingham, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1945 for the press lord James Gomer Berry. He had already been created a Baronet, of Dropmore in the County of Buckingham, on 25 January 1928, and Baron Kemsley, of Farnham Royal in the County of Buckingham, in 1936. Berry was the younger brother of the industrialist Henry Seymour Berry, 1st Baron Buckland and of fellow newspaper magnate William Berry, 1st Viscount Camrose. As of 2006 the titles are held by his grandson, the third Viscount, who succeeded his uncle in 1999.

The Conservative politician Sir Anthony Berry was the youngest son of the first Viscount Kemsley.
