 Tony Benn
Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn (born April 3, 1925), known as Tony Benn, and briefly as the 2nd Viscount Stansgate, is a British politician regarded as being on the left of the Labour Party.
After serving in the RAF in the later stages of World War II, he was elected to Parliament as member for Bristol South-East in 1950.
Knowing that he would be disqualified from the British House of Commons when his father died and he inherited the title of Viscount Stansgate, he campaigned from the early 1950s for a change in the law to allow peers to renounce their titles and sit in the Commons.

 Searching the Thames: Hambleden
When Charles II crossed the river at Medmenham in 1678 it will have been by means of ferry, this being the site of one of two such that plied the river hereabouts until relatively recently.
A monument here was erected by the 1st Viscount Devonport in 1899 to commemorate his success in proving in court that the Medmenham Ferry was a public amenity.
It was probably a relief both to the public, who could feel very free to drop their lolly wrappers and to his Lordship, who presumably no longer had to fund its upkeep.

 The Port of London Authority - Leisure
The new body, which commenced its duty on 31 March 1909, consisted of 28 members, 10 of whom were appointed and 18 elected, with the first chairman, Viscount Devonport, nominated by the Government.
Lord Devonport proved to be a strong leader, with his forceful drive colliding with the rising strength of the labour force.
Hence, the port experienced minimal damage during these years and by its close it was relatively easy to return to its continuing development, remaining the world’s greatest port during the 1920s and 1930s.
