John Lumley-Savile, 2nd Baron Savile

The latter was raised to the peerage in 1888 as Baron Savile, of Rufford in the County of Nottingham, with remainder to his nephew John Savile-Lumley (later Lumley-Savile).

He was nominated Attaché at Brussels in 1874, became 2nd Secretary in Athens in 1879, exchanged into the Foreign Office in 1881, and retired in 1889.

In the early 1900s he owned about 33,900 acres, comprising the family estates in Nottinghamshire and the West Riding of Yorkshire.

He enjoyed shooting, fishing, and golf,[4] and often entertained Edward VII at his principal seat, Rufford Abbey.

He married for the second time in 1916; the marriage produced George Halifax Lumley-Savile, heir to the title.
