# Earl of Cromer

Earl of Cromer is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, held by members of the British branch of the Anglo-German Baring banking family.
It was created in 1901 for Evelyn Baring, 1st Viscount Cromer, long time British Consul-General in Egypt. He had already been created Baron Cromer, of Cromer in the County of Norfolk, in 1892 and Viscount Cromer in 1899. At the time of his elevation to an Earl on 8 August 1901, he was also awarded the title Viscount Errington, of Hexham in Northumberland. These titles are also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
The first Lord Cromer was the son of Henry Baring, third son of Sir Francis Baring, 1st Baronet. He was succeeded by his son, the second Earl, a diplomat and civil servant. His son, the third Earl, was also a diplomat and served as British Ambassador to the United States between 1971 and 1974. In 2010 the titles are held by the latter's son, the fourth Earl, who succeeded in 1991.
Evelyn Baring, 1st Baron Howick of Glendale, was the third son of the first Earl.
The family seat is Drayton Court, near Drayton, Somerset.
