Lord Camden's eloquence is not free from tinsel — but still it is characterised by sterling vigour of thought, richness of imagery, and felicity of diction.
He left a son, John Jeffreys, who, in 1812, was created Marquess Camden and Earl of Brecknock, and who was not only distinguished for his public services, but for the disinterested renunciation of the legal profits of his tellership beyond a very limited amount, to the great benefit of the public revenue.
Lord Chancellor Camden is now represented by his grandson, the present Marquess, who, out of respect for his own virtues, and for the memory of his ancestors, has been decorated with the garter which his father wore.o

After the death of Robert, 1st Marquess of Londonderry, in 1821, and that of Robert, Lord Castlereagh, now 2nd Marquess of Londonderry, in 1822, the unity of the two branches of the family dissolved.
Robert, 1st Marquess of Londonderry, had married in 1766, as his first wife, a daughter of the 1st Marquess of Hertford; Alexander Stewart Junior did not marry until 1791, and his one and only wife was a grand-daughter of the same Lord Hertford.

I believe he was born a stone’s throw from Camden Town Tube station and has moved back into the area – but a call to the new Lord’s office at Whitehall drew no response as to why he had chosen such a moniker.
But he is not the first peer with Camden in his title.

 History
The house, first known as Camden Cottage, was built in approximately 1862 on land leased to Mr Mordecai Jones by the 2nd Marquis of Camden and Earl of Brecknock (pictured above), who owned much of the land around us in Brecon at the time.
After passing through the hands of several local families, and a change of name to the Camden Grange, in the 1970s, the house was used as a Guest House, narrowly avoiding being demolished as a semi derelict building in 1974 as part of the Brecon road improvements!
Luckily the house survived, was reborn as the Grange Guesthouse, and is now a Grade 2 listed building within the Brecon Beacons National Park and Brecon conservation area.
