Baron Wensleydale

This may refer to:

  • A hereditary title created for James Parke (1782–1868), an English judge, in 1856. Though the title was hereditary, none of his sons survived him, and it thus became extinct upon his death.
  • A subsidiary title of the Viscount Ridley, created in 1900. (The 1st Viscount Ridley was a grandson of the above).

Famous quotes containing the word baron:

    “People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilisation. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilisation; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.”
    —Kenneth MacKenzie Clark, Baron of Saltwood (1903–1983)
