Baron Jeffreys

Baron Jeffreys

Baron Jeffreys is a title that has been created twice, once in the Peerage of England and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The first creation came in the Peerage of England on May 16 1685 when the lawyer and later Lord Chancellor George Jeffreys was made Baron Jeffreys. He had already been created a Baronet, of Bulstrode in the County of Buckingham, in the Baronetage of England in 1681. The titles became extinct on the death of his son, the second Baron, in 1702.

The next creation came in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1952 when the military commander General George Darell Jeffreys was made Baron Jeffreys, of Burkham in the County of Southampton (as Hampshire was known as prior to 1959). He had also served as Conservative Member of Parliament for Petersfield. Jeffrey's father Arthur Frederick Jeffreys had previously represented Basingstoke in Parliament, and had been admitted to the Privy Council in 1902. As of 2007 the title is held by the first Baron's great-grandson, the third Baron, who succeeded his father in 1986.
