Baron Altrincham
Baron Altrincham, of Tormarton in the County of Gloucester, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created on 1 August 1945 for the politician Edward Grigg. His son, the second Baron, was a politician, journalist, historian and writer. Soon after the passage of the Peerage Act 1963 on 31 July 1963, he disclaimed the title for life.[2] As of 2020[update] the title is held by his nephew, who succeeded as 4th Baron on his father's death in that year.[citation needed]
