Viscount Greenwood

Viscount Greenwood, of Holbourne in the County of London, was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1937 for the politician Hamar Greenwood. He served as the last Chief Secretary for Ireland from 1920 to 1922. Greenwood had already been created a Baronet, of Holbourne in the County of London, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 8 February 1915, and Baron Greenwood, of Llanbister in the County of Radnor, in 1929. His younger son, the third Viscount (who succeeded his elder brother in 1998), was an actor. The titles became extinct on his death in 2003.
