Baron Clitheroe

Baron Clitheroe, of Downham in the County of Lancaster, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1955 for the Conservative politician Ralph Assheton, who had previously served as Financial Secretary to the Treasury. He was the son of Ralph Assheton, for many years a member of the Lancashire County Council, who had been created a Baronet, of Downham in the County of Lancaster, on 4 September 1945.
