Richard Verney, 19th Baron Willoughby de Broke

Richard Greville Verney, 19th Baron Willoughby de Broke (1869 - 1923) was a British peer.

The historian George Dangerfield described him as "a genial and sporting young peer, whose face bore a pleasing resemblance to the horse...He had quite a gift for writing, thought clearly, and was not more than two hundred years behind his time". [George Dangerfield, "The Strange Death of Liberal England" (Stanford University Press, 1997), p. 47.]
