Viscount Templewood, of Chelsea in the County of Middlesex,[3] was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 14 July 1944 for the Conservative politician and former Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary, Sir Samuel Hoare, 2nd Baronet. The Hoare Baronetcy, of Sidestrand Hall in the County of Norfolk, had been created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 7 August 1899 for his father Samuel Hoare,[4] who represented Norwich in the House of Commons. Both titles became extinct on Lord Templewood's death in 1959.
The name Templewood was that of a country house at Sidestrand. Templewood was built in 1938 by architects John Seely and Paul Paget.
