Viscount Leverhulme

Viscount Leverhulme

The title Viscount Leverhulme, of the Western Isles in the Counties of Inverness and Ross & Cromarty, was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1922 for William Lever, 1st Baron Leverhulme. The Viscounts Leverhulme also held the title Baron Leverhulme, of Bolton-le-Moors in the County Palatine of Lancaster (Peerage of the United Kingdom, 1917), and were Baronets of the United Kingdom, styled "of Thornton Manor". Both peerages and the baronetcy, all of which had been created for the 1st Viscount, became extinct on the death of the 3rd Viscount in 2000.
