Baron Aberconway

Baron Aberconway, of Bodnant in the County of Denbigh, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 21 June 1911 for the industrialist and Liberal politician Sir Charles McLaren, 1st Baronet.[2] He had already been created a baronet, of Bodnant, Gwylgre and Hilders, on 24 July 1902.[3]

His eldest son, the second Baron, was a businessman and also sat as a Member of Parliament. He was succeeded by his son, the third Baron. In August 1939, the future third Baron was part of a secret delegation sent to Germany by Lord Halifax to offer Adolf Hitler concessions on the assurance that he would not invade Poland. Since 2003, the title passed to his eldest son, the fourth Baron.

As of 17 December 2019, the present holder of the barony has not successfully proven his succession to the baronetcy and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage. However, the case is under review by the Registrar of the Baronetage. For more information, follow this link.

Aberconway is the anglicised form of the Welsh place name Aberconwy, the original name of Conwy town in Welsh.

The family seat is Bodnant House, near Tal-y-Cafn, Conwy, Wales.

gollark: Lots of these things just dump all notes in a folder of plaintext files and use git for sync/revision control, but I feel like this is a horrible system which is prone to badness.
gollark: minoteaur, coming never, will eventually never include an actual dedicated synchronization engine, to deal with this.
gollark: Currently "my notes" means "the DokuWiki data folder", which is not actually that much use since I can't access it concurrently without breaking things, meaning to make edits I have to suffer the latency back to the main osmarksßservers.
gollark: The memeCLOUD™ is part of the part of my data collection which gets synchronized onto most of my available stuff, which includes my notes, archived webpages/PDFs, various public content, ebooks, and music, but *not* video media.
gollark: 128GB on my laptop, foolishly.
