Christopher Nevill, 6th Marquess of Abergavenny

Christopher George Charles Nevill, 6th Marquess of Abergavenny (born 23 April 1955) is the son of Lord Rupert Charles Montecute Nevill and Lady Ann Camilla Evelyn Wallop.

He succeeded as 6th Marquess of Abergavenny in the Peerage of the United Kingdom on 23 February 2000 when his uncle, who had no surviving male heir, died. He also succeeded as 10th Earl of Abergavenny and 10th Viscount Nevill in the Peerage of Great Britain and 6th Earl of Lewes in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

He was educated in Harrow School, Harrow on the Hill, London and helped expand his horizons and develop a more global perspective by living and working in Hamburg, Germany, in the 1970s.

He married Venetia V. Maynard, daughter of Frederick Gerard Maynard, in 1985.

Children:
*George Rupert Gerard Nevill b. 27 Jun 1990, d. 15 Sep 1990
*Sophie Alice Augusta Nevill b. 27 Jun 1990

As there is no male heir to the Marquessate of Abergavenny and the Earldom of Lewes, those titles will (unless he has further sons) become extinct upon his death.

The Heir Presumptive to the Earldom of Abergavenny and Viscountcy of Nevill is David Michael Ralph Nevill (great-grandnephew of the 1st Marquess of Abergavenny).
