Baron Renton

The title Baron Renton can refer to:

A senator of the College of Justice:

  • John Home, Lord Renton (1600-1671)

Members of the House of Lords:

  • David Renton, Baron Renton (1908-2007), (created a life peer in 1979).
  • Timothy Renton, Baron Renton of Mount Harry (created a life peer in 1997).

As David Renton was created a peer some years before Timothy Renton, the title Baron Renton, without qualification, is more likely to refer to David Renton. The two are not related.
