Baron Greenway

Baron Greenway

Baron Greenway, of Stanbridge Earls in the County of Southampton, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1927 for the businessman Charles Greenway, one of the founders of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. He had already been created a Baronet, of Wenhaston in the County of Suffolk, in 1919. As of 2007 the titles are held by his great-grandson, the fourth Baron, who succeeded his father in 1975. Lord Greenway is one of the ninety-two elected hereditary peers that remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999, and sits as a cross-bencher.
