Sir Robert Phillimore, 1st Baronet

Baron Phillimore, of Shiplake in the County of Oxford, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created in 1918 for the former Judge of the High Court of Justice and Lord Justice of Appeal, Sir Walter Phillimore, 2nd Baronet. The Phillimore Baronetcy, of The Coppice, had been created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 28 December 1881[2] for his father Sir Robert Phillimore, who was also a noted lawyer and judge. The first Baron was succeeded by his son, the second Baron.

On his death the titles passed to his grandson, the third Baron, his eldest son Captain the Hon. Anthony Francis Phillimore (d. 1940) having been killed in action during the Second World War. The third Baron was childless and was succeeded by his uncle, the fourth Baron. He was an architect.

As of 2016 the titles are held by his son, the fifth Baron, who succeeded in 1994. The fifth baron is a barrister who lives at Coppid Hall, Shiplake, Oxfordshire.

The Phillimore family were formerly owners, and now trustees, of the Phillimore Estate [3] in Kensington, west London, covering the prosperous 19th century houses around Holland Park and Campden Hill.[4]

The family also controls Coppid Farming Enterprises, a landowner with an interest in the Crichel Down estate.[5]

The fourth Baron owned Villa Foscari, a masterpiece of Palladio and now a Unesco World Heritage site.
