Baron Alington

His second son, the third Baron (who succeeded in the title on the early death of his elder brother), was a Major-General in the English Army.

On 5 December 1682 he was created Baron Alington, of Wymondley in the County of Hertford, in the Peerage of England.

The title was revived on 15 January 1876 when the peer and Conservative politician Henry Sturt was made Baron Alington, of Crichel in the County of Dorset, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

His eldest son, Captain Gerard Philip Montagu Napier Sturt (1893–1918), died on Armistice Day 1918, from wounds received in action, unmarried.

The family seat of Crichel House passed to the late Baron's daughter, Mary Anna Sibell Elizabeth Sturt (1929–2010).
