Baron Stamp

Barony in the Peerage of the United Kingdom

Baron Stamp, of Shortlands in the County of Kent, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[2] It was created in 1938 for the civil servant, industrialist, economist, statistician and banker, Sir Josiah Stamp. The second Baron, Wilfred Carlyle Stamp, holds the record for having held a peerage for the shortest length of time. On 16 April 1941, the first Baron Stamp was killed by a German bomb, as was his son Wilfred. Legally, the son was presumed to have died a fraction of a second after his father, and therefore is supposed to have succeeded to the title for that short amount of time. The second Baron was succeeded by his younger brother, the third Baron. As of 2022 the title is held by the latter's grandson, the fifth Baron.
