Baron Wyfold

Baron Wyfold, of Accrington in the County Palatine of Lancaster, was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.^[1] It was created on 17 May 1919 for Sir Robert Hermon-Hodge, 1st Baronet, the former Conservative Member of Parliament for Accrington, Henley and Croydon. He had already been created a baronet, of Wyfold Court in the Parish of Checkendon in the County of Oxford, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom in 1902.^[2] Born Robert Hodge, he assumed in 1903 by Royal licence the additional surname of Hermon, which was that of his father-in-law, Edward Hermon. The titles became extinct on the death of Lord Wyfold's grandson, the third Baron, on 8 April 1999.
