Lord Falconbridge
Baron Fauconberg (also Falconberg or Falconbridge) is an hereditary title created twice in the Peerage of England. First created in 1295 when Sir Walter de Fauconberg, an Anglo-Norman, was summoned to parliament. Between 1463 and 1903 the peerage title fell abeyant until its abeyance was terminated in favour of Marcia Lane-Fox, ''Baroness Fauconberg and Conyers'', who succeeded her father, Sackville Lane-Fox. After the abeyance of 1463 the right to the barony of Fauconberg which resulted in the termination of 1903 was held jointly with the barony of Conyers; and, since then the two baronies have followed the same line of succession, including further abeyancies between 1948 and 2012 and from 2013. The Countess of Yarborough predeceased her husband in 1926 when her family titles were inherited by her eldest surviving son, Lord Conyers (''later'' 5th Earl of Yarborough). On his death in 1948 these ancient baronies again fell abeyant, between his two daughters as co-heirs, whil ...
