  Viscount Camrose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viscount Camrose, of Hackwood Park in the County of Southampton, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
On his death in 2001 the life peerage became extinct while he was succeeded in the other titles by his eldest son, the fourth Viscount and (as of 2006) present holder of the titles.
The first Viscount was the younger brother of the industrialist Henry Berry, 1st Baron Buckland and the elder brother of fellow press lord James Gomer Berry, 1st Viscount Kemsley.

Berry, William Ewert, first Viscount Camrose 1879-1954, newspaper proprietor, was born at Merthyr Tydfil 23 June 1879, the second of the three sons, all to be raised to the peerage, of Alderman John Mathias Berry, estate agent, by his wife, Mary Ann, daughter of Thomas Rowe, of Pembroke Dock.
The long and close association between Camrose, Kemsley, and Iliffe was amicably dissolved in 1937, chiefly because each had a growing family, and it was felt expedient to split the holdings.
Camrose and Kemsley acquired from their brother some steel and coal holdings, but this was after their establishment as newspaper owners, and both lost money in preventing the closure of some collieries near Merthyr Tydfil.
