- Baron Bingley
Baron Bingley is a peerage title that has been created three times, twice in the
Peerage of Great Britain and once in thePeerage of the United Kingdom .The first creation came in 1713 in the
Peerage of Great Britain , when the formerChancellor of the Exchequer Robert Benson was made Baron Bingley, of Bingley in the County of York. Upon his death in 1731, the peerage became extinct.However, the title was revived in 1762 for his son-in-law, George Fox-Lane, who was also created Baron Bingley, of Bingley in the County of York, with remainder only to his heirs male with his wife, Harriet. He had earlier represented Hedon and York in the House of Commons. Fox-Lane's son and heir,
Robert Fox-Lane , predeceased him in 1768, and wife predeceased him in 1771; the barony therefore became extinct on his death in 1773.The most recent creation came in the
Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1933, when the Conservative politician George Lane-Fox, was created Baron Bingley, of Bramham in the County of York. He was the great-great-grandson of James Fox-Lane, a nephew of the first baron of the second creation, and was a formerMember of Parliament for Barkston Ash. Lord Bingley had four daughters but no sons and on his death in 1947, this title also became extinct.Barons Bingley (1713)
