Baron Monkswell

Baron Monkswell

Baron Monkswell, of Monkswell in the County of Devon, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1885 for the lawyer and Liberal politician Sir Robert Collier. His eldest son, the second Baron, served as Under-Secretary of State for War in 1895 in the Liberal administration of Lord Rosebery. His grandson, the fourth Baron (who succeeded his uncle in the title), disclaimed the peerage on 7 April, 1964. As of 2006 the title is held by the latter's eldest son, the fifth Baron.

The artist John Collier was the younger son of the first Baron Monkswell.
