Baron Daresbury, of Walton in the County of Chester, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1927 for Sir Gilbert Greenall, 2nd Baronet. The Baronetcy, of Walton Hall in the County of Chester, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom in 1876 for his father Gilbert Greenall, who was head of the family brewing business (later Greenall's and now the De Vere Group) and also represented Warrington in the House of Commons as a Conservative. As of 2010 the titles are held by the first Baron's great-grandson, the fourth Baron, who succeeded his father in 1996.

“There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion.”
