Gathorne-Hardy family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arms of the Earl of Cranbrook

Gathorne-Hardy is the name of a British aristocratic family. The first part of the name is pronounced with a long a, i.e. "gay-thorn". The founder of the family was Gathorne Gathorne-Hardy, 1st Earl of Cranbrook. The "eccentric Gathorne-Hardys" as they are sometimes known,[citation needed] have produced many notable members of 19th and 20th century British society.

The 1st Earl of Cranbrook was a prominent Conservative statesman who "won the full confidence and warm personal regard of Queen Victoria."
