Overview[]

1stLordLudlow

Henry Lopes, 1st Baron Ludlow.

Baron Ludlow was a title that was created three times in British history, once in the Peerage of Ireland and twice in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. For the first two creations, see Earl Ludlow. The third creation came in the Peerage of the United Kingdom on 26 July 1897 when the politician and judge Sir Henry Lopes was made Baron Ludlow, of Heywood in the County of Wiltshire. He was a younger son of Sir Ralph Lopes, 2nd Baronet, of Maristow, and the uncle of Henry Lopes, 1st Baron Roborough (see Baron Roborough for earlier history of the family). Lord Ludlow was succeeded by his only son, the second Baron. He was a barrister and member of the London City Council. He was childless and the title became extinct on his death in 1922.


1st & 2nd Creation: Earl Ludlow (1755 & 1760)[]

Earl Ludlow was a title in the Peerage of Ireland, created on 3 October 1760 for Peter Ludlow, 1st Baron Ludlow. He had already been created Baron Ludlow, of Ardsalla in the County of Meath, on 19 December 1755, and was made Viscount Preston, of Ardsalla in the County of Meath, at the same time as he was given the earldom. He subsequently represented Huntingdonshire in Parliament and served as Comptroller of the Household from 1782 to 1784. Ludlow was the great-grandson of Henry Ludlow, brother of the Parliamentarian general Edmund Ludlow. His mother was Mary, daughter of John Preston (of the Viscounts Gormanston), hence his choice of title for the viscountcy. Lord Ludlow was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Earl. He died unmarried and was succeeded by his only brother, the third Earl. He was a General in the British Army. In 1831 he was created Baron Ludlow in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The titles became extinct on his death in 1842.
