Viscount Camrose
Viscount Camrose is a title in the
Peerage of the United Kingdom that was created on
20 January 1941 for William Berry, who had on
19 June 1929 been created
Baron Camrose. Before this, on
4 July 1921, he had been created a baronet, of
Hackwood Park,
Hampshire.
The first three Viscounts all headed
The Daily Telegraph at one point, the first having purchased it from the
1st Viscount Burnham, but in the
1980s they lost control to
Conrad Black.
The first Viscount was the younger brother of the first and last
Baron Buckland, an industrialist, and the elder brother of the
1st Viscount Kemsley, a fellow press lord.
The third Viscount disclaimed the Peerage in 1995, but had been created a
life peer as
Baron Hartwell in
1968. At his death in 2001, his eldest son Adrian succeeded.
