Baron Airedale

Baron Airedale

Baron Airedale, of Gledhow in the West Riding of the County of York, was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 17 July 1907 for the Liberal politician James Kitson, who had previously represented Colne Valley in the House of Commons and served as Lord Mayor of Leeds. Kitson had already been created a Baronet, of Gledhow in the West Riding of the County of York, in 1886. Both the title and baronetcy became extinct on the death of his grandson, the fourth Baron, in 1996.
