Viscount Runciman of Doxford
- Viscount Runciman of Doxford
Viscount Runciman of Doxford, of Doxford in the County of Northumberland, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1937 for Walter Runciman, a politician whose career included service as a Member of Parliament, President of the Board of Trade and Lord President of the Council. He was the son and heir apparent of the shipping magnate and Liberal politician Walter Runciman, who had been created a Baronet in 1906 and Baron Runciman, of Shoreston in the County of Northumberland, in 1933. As his father was still alive at the time of the creation of the viscountcy the title of this peerage was "Runciman of Doxford" rather than simply "Runciman". As of 2007 the titles are held by the first Viscount's grandson, the third Viscount, who succeeded his father in 1989. He is a well-known sociologist at Cambridge University.
Hilda Runciman, Viscountess Runciman of Doxford, wife of the first Viscount, represented St Ives in the House of Commons from 1928 to 1929. Also, Sir Steven Runciman, younger son of the first Viscount and Hilda, Viscountess Runciman of Doxford, was a noted historian.
