Viscount Trenchard

Viscount Trenchard, of Wolfeton in the County of Dorset, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1936 for Marshal of the Royal Air Force Hugh Trenchard. He had already been created a Baronet, of Wolfeton in the County of Dorset, in 1919 and Baron Trenchard of Wolfeton in the County of Dorset in 1927. His second son, the second Viscount, held junior ministerial positions from 1979 to 1983 in the Conservative administration of Margaret Thatcher. As of 2006 the titles are held by the latter's son, the third Viscount. In 2004 he replaced the recently deceased Lord Vivian as one of the ninety elected hereditary peers that are allowed to remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999. Lord Trenchard sits on the Conservative benches.

The family seat is Standon Lordship, near Ware, Hertfordshire.
