Baron Clanmorris
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Clanmorris, of Newbrook in the County of Mayo, is a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1800 for John Bingham. He was a descendant of John Bingham of Foxford in County Mayo, whose brother Sir Henry Bingham, 1st Baronet, of Castlebar, was the ancestor of the Earls of Lucan. The first Baron's great-great-great-grandson, the seventh Baron, was a spy and crime novelist (as John Bingham). As of 2007 the title is held by the latter's son, the eighth Baron, who succeeded in 1988.
The novelist Charlotte Bingham is the daughter of the seventh and the sister of the eighth Baron Clanmorris.
