Baron Moran

Baron Moran, of Manton in the County of Wiltshire, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1943 for the physician Charles Wilson. He is chiefly remembered as Winston Churchill's personal physician during the Second World War. As of 2007 the title is held by his eldest son, the second Baron, who succeeded in 1977. He is a retired diplomat and has notably served as British Ambassador to Hungary and Portugal and as British High Commissioner to Canada. Lord Moran is also one of the ninety 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.
