Baron de Saumarez

Baron de Saumarez, on the Island of Guernsey, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

[1] It was created on 15 September 1831 for the prominent naval commander Admiral Sir James Saumarez, 1st Baronet.

Lord de Saumarez was succeeded by his eldest son James, the second Baron, a clergyman.

After the German occupation of the Channel Islands during the Second World War, the later barons lived mostly at their Shrubland Park estate, near Ipswich, in Suffolk.

Although born and brought up in Suffolk, in April 2006, after the death of his mother, the present Lord de Saumarez sold Shrubland Park and settled in Guernsey.
