Viscount Camrose

Viscount Camrose

Viscount Camrose, of Hackwood Park in the County of Southampton, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 20 January 1941 for the prominent newspaper magnate William Berry. He had already been created a Baronet, of Hackwood Park in the County of Southampton, on 4 July 1921, and Baron Camrose, of Long Cross in the County of Surrey, on 19 June 1929. His second son, the third Viscount, disclaimed the peerages in 1995 on succeeding his elder brother. However, he had already been created a life peer as Baron Hartwell, of Peterborough Court in the City of London, in 1968.

On his death in 2001 the life peerage became extinct while he was succeeded in the other titles by his eldest son, the fourth Viscount and (as of 2006) present holder of the titles. As of 30 June 2006 he has not successfully proven his succession to the Baronetcy and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage. However, the case is under review by the Registrar of the Baronetage (for more information follow this [http://www.baronetage.org/unproven.htm link] ).

The first three Viscounts all headed "The Daily Telegraph" at one point, the first having purchased it from the Harry Levy-Lawson, 1st Viscount Burnham, but in the 1980s they lost control to Conrad Black.

The first Viscount was the younger brother of the industrialist Henry Berry, 1st Baron Buckland and the elder brother of fellow press lord James Gomer Berry, 1st Viscount Kemsley.
