Baron Effingham is a title in the British peerage, associated with the Effingham family. The title was created in 1806 and is linked to the historic town of Effingham in Surrey, England. The current holder of the title is responsible for various ceremonial duties and has a role in the House of Lords, although the House of Lords Act 1999 limited the number of hereditary peers who can sit in the chamber. The title has connections to notable figures in British history, including Lord Effingham, who was a prominent naval officer during the 18th century. The barony has also been involved in various charitable activities and local community events, reflecting the family's commitment to public service.
