Viscount Churchill

Viscount Churchill

Viscount Churchill, of Rolleston in the County of Leicester, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1902 for the Conservative politician Victor Spencer, 3rd Baron Churchill. The title of Baron Churchill, of Whichwood in the County of Oxford, was created in 1815 for his grandfather Lord Francis Spencer, younger son of the George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough. He had previously represented Oxfordshire in Parliament. As of 2006 the titles are held by the first Viscount's youngest son, who succeeded his half-brother, the second Viscount, in 1973. As a descendant of the fourth Duke of Marlborough he is also in remainder to this peerage and its subsidiary titles.
