Richard Lumley-Saunderson, later 6th Earl of Scarbrough.
  On his death the estates passed to his younger brother, the aforementioned seventh Earl, and then to his son the eighth Earl. The latter bequeathed the estates to his second natural son Captain Henry Lumley-Savile (d. 1881). When he died they passed to his younger brother Augustus William Lumley-Savile (1829–1887) and then to his eldest brother, the aforementioned John Savile, who was created Baron Savile the following year.
  The peerage was created with remainder to Savile's nephew John Lumley, who succeeded him as second Baron. In 1898 the latter assumed by Royal licence the surname of Savile in addition to that of Lumley. As of 2017, the title is held by his grandson, the fourth Baron, who succeeded his uncle in 2008.
  From 1938 to 2008 (when the 3rd Baron Savile died), the family seat was Gryce Hall, near Shelley, West Yorkshire. The ancestral seat (sold in 1938) was Rufford Abbey, near Rufford, Nottinghamshire.
