Henry Pitt-Rivers, 5th Baron Rivers

Henry Peter Pitt-Rivers, 5th Baron Rivers (7 April 1849 – 17 March 1867) was a British nobleman.

He died at a young age of the lung disease from which his three older brothers had also suffered.

Henry was the youngest of four sons born to George Pitt-Rivers, 4th Baron Rivers and his wife Lady Susan, all of whom suffered from a chronic lung disease.

[1] After the death of his brother Granville in 1855, the family felt it was best to separate Henry, who was as yet less affected than his remaining brother William, from the family, and he was raised for several years by Sydney Osborne and his wife.

He was buried on 23 March at Steepleton Iwerne, and was succeeded in his title and estates by his uncle, Lt-Col. Horace Pitt.
