Barony in the Peerage of Great Britain

Henry Jermyn, first Baron Dover of the 1685 creation

Baron Dover is a title that has been created three times, once in the Peerage of England, once in the Peerage of Great Britain and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. All three creations are now extinct.

The first creation came in the Peerage of England in 1685 when Henry Jermyn was made Baron Dover. In 1703 he also succeeded his elder brother as Baron Jermyn. For more information on this creation, see the latter title.

The second creation came in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1788 when then soldier General Sir Joseph Yorke was made Lord Dover, Baron of the Town and Port of Dover, in the County of Kent. He was the third son of Philip Yorke, 1st Earl of Hardwicke. The peerage became extinct on Lord Dover's death in 1792.

The third creation came in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1831 when the politician George Agar-Ellis was created Baron Dover, of Dover in the County of Kent. He was the only son of Henry Ellis, 2nd Viscount Clifden. For more information on this creation, see Viscount Clifden.

Notes

  1. ^ The younger brothers of the 4th Marquess were allowed by a warrant of precedence from the King to "have, hold and enjoy the title, rank, place, pre-eminence and precedence as the sons of a Marquess", because their father would have held the marquessate but for his predeceasing the previous holder.
