Baron Lawrence

Baron Lawrence

Baron Lawrence, of the Punjab and of Grateley in the County of Southampton, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1869 for John Laird Lawrence, the former Viceroy of India. He had already been created a Baronet, of the Army, in 1858. His son, the second Baron, served in the Conservative administrations of Lord Salisbury and Arthur Balfour as a Government Whip from 1895 to 1905. As of 2007 the titles are held by his great-grandson, the fifth Baron, who succeeded his father in 1968.

Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence was the elder brother of the first Baron Lawrence.
