Lady Lucinda Lambton (born 10 May 1943) is a British writer, photographer, television presenter and producer. She specialises in taking a quirky view of architectural history.
Her parents were Anthony Claud Frederick Lambton and Belinda Blew-Jones. At the time of her birth her father was heir to the Earl of Durham, a title he later disclaimed.
Perhaps the most amusing book she has written is Temples of Convenience and Chambers of Delight, on the subject of toilets and bathrooms, which includes 150 of her colour photographs. She has contributed, produced and written around 60 films for the BBC.
She is married to the journalist and social commentator Sir Peregrine Worsthorne, a former editor of the Sunday Telegraph. They live just outside London in Kingston-upon-Thames. She has two sons, Barnaby and Huckleberry, by Henry Harrod.
