Baron Kensington

Baron Kensington is a title that has been created three times, in the Peerages of England, Ireland and the United Kingdom.

The first creation came in the Peerage of England in 1623 when the Honourable Henry Rich was made Baron Kensington.

Lady Elizabeth Rich, only daughter of Robert Rich, 5th Earl of Warwick, married Francis Edwardes, Member of Parliament for Haverfordwest from 1722 to 1725, and the member of a family which owned extensive lands in Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire.

Their son William Edwardes represented Haverfordwest in the House of Commons for over fifty years.
