Baron Merthyr

Baron Merthyr

Baron Merthyr, of Senghenydd in the County of Glamorgan, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1911 for the Welsh coal mining magnate Sir William Thomas Lewis. He had already been created a Baronet, of Nantgwyne in the County of Glamorgan, in 1896. The barony is named after the town of Merthyr Tydfil, where Lewis was born. His great-grandson, the fourth Baron, disclaimed the peerage for life on April 26, 1977, three weeks after succeeding his father. He does not use his title of Baronet either.

The Hon. Robin Lewis, fourth son of the third baron, was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Dyfed in 2006.
