  Earl of Cranbrook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title of Earl of Cranbrook was created in 1892 for Lord Cranbrook, a retired Conservative politician.
The Earl bears the subsidiary titles of Viscount Cranbrook (1878) and Baron Medway (1892), both in the Peerage of the UK.
The family seat is Glemham House, near Saxmundham, Suffolk.

For instance, the eldest son of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry is the Earl of Dalkeith, even though the Duke is also the Marquess of Dumfriesshire, a senior title to the Earldom of Dalkeith.
For instance, the eldest son of the Earl of Devon is Lord Courtenay, even though the Earl has no barony of that name, and similarly the eldest son of the Earl of Guilford is Lord North.
Thus a baron's wife is called "baroness", an earl's wife is called a "countess", a duke's wife a "duchess", etc. Despite being referred to as a "peeress", she does not, however, become a peer "in her own right": these are 'styles', not substantive titles.

 cranbrook |•| 2D DESIGN
The youthful contingent seemed to view Earls, the 37-year-old head of graphics at Cranbrook Academy of Art as the millennial successor to the graphics-meets-art line of cult heroes that stretches back through Tomato, via David Carson to Neville Brody.
When the rangy 36 year old appeared on stage there was even the odd rock-n-roll style whoop and when Earls concluded his 20 minute illustrated talk by tossing into the audience a dozen copies of Catfish, there was a real danger of getting trampled in the rush.
Now head of graphics at Cranbrook, the art and design academy near Detroit in Michigan which is where he studied for his masters degree in the early 1990s, Earls can count on the support of opinion formers at graphics cutting edge.

 Guardian | Peer apologises to MPs for contempt
The Earl of Cranbrook, chairman of Entrust, and Richard Sills, its chief executive, are the first people to be admonished by MPs since Ian and Kevin Maxwell were dragged before a parliamentary committee in 1992 and made to apologise for refusing to answer questions about their disgraced father, Robert Maxwell.
Lord Cranbrook and Mr Sills were accused under the 1892 Witnesses (Public Inquiries) Protection Act of "threats and molestation" of a key witness to an investigation by the Commons environment sub-committee into the government's waste policy.
Andrew Bennett, Labour chairman of the sub-committee, asked Lord Cranbrook and Mr Sills to appear before MPs for contempt of parliament.

 Forest watchdog fails to show its teeth - 14 December 1991 - New Scientist
The only firm proposal to emerge from the ITTO's meeting in Yokohama was a commitment by the Malaysian state of Sarawak to reduce the amount of timber it cuts by 1.5 million cubic metres a year over the next two years.
Sarawak's move is a response to a recommendation made in 1989 by an ITTO mission led by the Earl of Cranbrook.
Among other things, Cranbrook said that Sarawak could sustain a harvest of 9.2 million cubic metres of timber a year if it also adopted...

 The FEUDAL HERALD - August-September 1999
Lady Guinivere, of course, has to be the daughter of a duke, or of a marquess or of an earl.
But the amount they conned to support their aristocratic lifestyle was only a very unaristocratic £19,000 ~ and we would argue they did society a service in alerting the public to the gullibility that emerges the moment a title comes up over the horizon.
There is a genuine Lord Cranbrook, the Earl of Cranbrook, and he is also Viscount Cranbrook of Hemsted, but a Viscount Cranbrook and a Lord Cranbrook as two brother peers is an unconvincing combination.

 Bats and Mankind
In Western Europe there was an unfounded myth that if a bat should fall on a woman, who all had long hair in those days, the bat would become so entangled in her hair that the hair would have to be cut to get it out.
In 1959 this myth was still so believed that the Earl of Cranbrook took it apon himself to test the myths veracity.
Using four species of bats, and three brave female volunteers he deliberately attempted to entangle the bats by thrusting them into the woman's hair.
