Baron Carrington

|
The Barony of Carrington has been created thrice: once in the Peerage of England, once in the Peerage of Ireland and once in the Peerage of Great Britain. The first barony (which was held along with a Viscountcy) ended in extinction while the remaining two are extant and united under a single holder.
The third Baron Carrington was also created, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, Earl Carrington and Viscount Wendover in 1895 and Marquess of Lincolnshire in 1912. All three titles became extinct at his death in 1928 because he has no male-heirs of his body, only daughters. Under King George V, he held also the Lord Great Chamberlainship, 25% of which he inherited from his mother and then was inherited by his daughters as co-heiresses (5% each).
The sixth Baron Carrington was also created a life peer as Baron Carington of Upton (spelled with a single "r") in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
