Baron North

Baron North, of Kirtling Tower in the County of Cambridge, is an abeyant title in the Peerage of England.

The title was created on 17 January 1554 for Sir Edward North, a successful lawyer, clerk of the Parliament and chancellor of the Court of Augmentations.

The barony of North remained a subsidiary title of the earldom until the death of his grandson, the third Earl, in 1802.

The title descended in the direct line until the death of her great-great-grandson, the thirteenth Baron (who had succeeded his grandfather), in 1941.

On his death, the barony fell into abeyance between his two sisters, Dorothy Anne Graham (1915–2011) and Susan Silence Beauchamp (1920–1999).
