Baron Milford

Baron Milford

Baron Milford is a title that has been created three times, once in the Peerage of Ireland and twice in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. All three creations have been for members of the same family.

The first creation came in the Peerage of Ireland in 1776 in favour of Sir Richard Philipps, 7th Baronet, of Picton Castle, Member of Parliament for Pembrokeshire. However, this title became extinct on his death in 1823, while the baronetcy was passed on to a distant relative (see the Viscount St Davids).

The title was revived in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1847 when Richard Bulkeley Philipps was created Baron Milford, of Picton Castle in the County of Pembroke. This title also became extinct on the death of its first holder.

The title was revived for a second time in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1939, when Laurence Richard Philipps was made Baron Milford, of Llanstephan in the County of Radnor. He had already been created a Baronet, of Llanstephan in the County of Radnor, in 1919. Philipps was the sixth son of Sir James Erasmus Philipps, 12th Baronet, of Picton Castle and the younger brother of John Wynford Philipps, 1st Viscount St Davids and Owen Cosby Philipps, 1st Baron Kylsant. As of 2007 the titles are held by the first Baron's great-grandson, the fourth Baron, who succeeded his father in 1999. He is a barrister.
