Baron Renwick, of Coombe in the County of Surrey, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created on 23 December 1964 for the businessman and public servant, Sir Robert Renwick, 2nd Baronet. He notably worked for the Air Ministry and the Ministry of Aircraft Production during the Second World War. The Renwick Baronetcy, of Coombe in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 28 June 1927 for his father, Harry Renwick.[2] As of 2020[update] the titles are held by the first Baron's grandson, the third Baron, who succeeded in that year. The second baron was active in the House of Lords until the House of Lords Act 1999, when he lost his seat in parliament.
