WENTWORTH[222], Viscount (NOEL).--After the Barony of _Wentworth_ had continued for several successions in the name of _Wentworth_, of Nettlestead in Suffolk, the Title devolved on Anne, the Wife of John Lord Lovelace, whose Daughter Martha inherited the Barony of _Wentworth_, and to whom the Title was confirmed, by Descent, in Parliament, A.D. 1702; and she walked at the Coronation of Queen Anne as Baroness _Wentworth_ in her own right. She dying without Issue, 1745, the Title devolved on the Descendants of Sir William _Noel_, Bart. who had married Margaret, another Daughter of Lord Lovelace, by Anne, the Heiress of Wentworth Lord _Wentworth_. Hence the Title passed to Edward, the eldest Son of Sir Clobery _Noel_, Bart. who succeeded to his Father's Title of Baronet, 1733; and to the Barony of _Wentworth_, as Heir of Margaret, 1745. He was created Viscount Wentworth of Wellesborough, co. Leic. 1762. [222] The Ancestor of this Family was Thomas Wentworth, _Earl of Cleveland;_ which Title became extinct, for want of Male Issue, 1667. The Barony passed as above. HOWLAND, Baron (RUSSELL).--A Barony in the Duke of Bedford, granted in honour of Elizabeth, Daughter of John Howland, Esq. of Streatham in Surrey (by whom the Family acquired that estate), who married Wriothesley, Grandson of the first Duke of Bedford, and the eldest Son of Lord William Russell, who was beheaded 1683[223]. [223] See Collins's Baronage, i. 267, 272. NORMANBY, Marquis, extinct (SHEFFIELD).--The second Title of Sheffield Duke of Buckingham, taken from an obscure place in Lincolnshire. CHANDOS, Duke (BRYDGES).--The Patent is dated April 29, 1719, wherein the Grantee is styled "Duke of Chandos in the County of Hereford." The Dukedom became extinct, by the death of James the third Duke, s. p. 1789. The Barony exists (1790), if a claim to it can be established, as that creation bears date A. D. 1554. ARUNDEL OF WARDOUR, Baron (ARUNDEL[224]).--From Wardour Castle in Wiltshire. He is a Count of the Empire by Grant of Rodolph II. A. D. 1595[225]. [224] See Camden's Britannia, col. 112. [225] See Camden, for the words of the Patent. SONDES, Baron (WATSON).--A revived Title, from the inheritance of part of the estates of Lewis Watson, Earl of Rockingham and Viscount _Sondes_. Lewis Watson, having married the Heiress of Sir George _Sondes_, K.B. was created Earl of Rockingham and Viscount _Sondes_, in honour of his Wife's Father, 1714; so that the present Title is nominal. The Estate at Lees-Court in Kent came by the above marriage.
