Baron Delamere

Baron Delamere

Baron Delamere, of Vale Royal in the County of Chester, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1821 for Thomas Cholmondeley, a former Member of Parliament for Cheshire. This branch of the Cholmondeley family descends from Thomas Cholmondeley (died 1653), younger brother of Robert Cholmondeley, 1st Earl of Leinster and Hugh Cholmondeley (1591-1665), ancestor of the Marquesses of Cholmondeley. The first Baron was succeeded by his son, the second Baron. He represented Denbighshire and Montgomery in the House of Commons as a Tory. His son, the third Baron, emigrated to Kenya where he acquired a major estate. As of 2007 the title is held by the latter's grandson, the fifth Baron, who succeeded his father in 1979. He also lives in Kenya.
