Viscount Caldecote, of Bristol in the County of Gloucester, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created in 1939 for the lawyer and politician Sir Thomas Inskip so that he could sit in the House of Lords and serve as Lord Chancellor. As of 2010[update] the title is held by his grandson, the third Viscount, who succeeded his father in 1999.
Lord Caldecote's elder half-brother the Right Reverend James Inskip was a clergyman while his younger brother Sir John Hampden Inskip (1879–1960) was Lord Mayor of Bristol in 1931.
