Arthur Smith-Barry, 1st Baron Barrymore

Arthur Hugh Smith-Barry, 1st Baron Barrymore, PC (Ire) (17 January 1843 – 22 February 1925), was an Anglo-Irish Conservative politician.

Smith-Barry was the son of James Hugh Smith Barry, of Marbury, Cheshire, and Fota Island, County Cork, and his wife Eliza, daughter of Shallcross Jacson.

He was also High Sheriff of County Cork in 1886 and was tasked by Arthur Balfour to organise landlord resistance to the tenant Plan of Campaign movement of the late 1880s.

They had one child together: Lord Barrymore died in London in February 1925, aged 82, and was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium.

In 1939, the estate of Fota Island and the ground rents of areas was acquired by Arthur Hugh's daughter (from her cousin), Mrs. Dorothy Bell, for the sum of £31,000.
