Hugh Lowther, 8th Earl of Lonsdale
- Hugh Lowther, 8th Earl of Lonsdale
Hugh Clayton Lowther, 8th Earl of Lonsdale (born 27 May 1949) was the son of James Lowther, 7th Earl of Lonsdale and his first wife Tuppina Cecily Bennet and is the current holder of the title, Earl of Lonsdale. Upon his father's death he only inherited his father's title, being disinherited for the rest of the estate, worth €479 million.
He was twice married, firstly to Pamela Colleen Middleton on 2 October 1971 and secondly to Angela Mary Wyatt in 1986. With his first wife he has one adopted son Oliver who thus does not stand in succession to his father's titles.
Although the earl did not share in the family fortune on his father's death he is a substantial landowner in his own right having had part of Lowther Estates settled on him as a young man.
