The 7th Baron Camoys, GCVO, PC, DL, who died 4 January, 2023, aged 82, was a City banker who became Lord Chamberlain at an acutely sensitive time in the modern evolution of the monarchy. He was seated at Stonor Park, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
Lord Camoys was Prime Warden, Fishmongers' Company 1992-93; a Lord in Waiting 1992-98; Deputy Lieutenant of Oxfordshire 1994; Privy Councillor 1997; Lord Chamberlain and Chancellor of the Royal Victorian Order 1998-2000; GCVO 1998; a Permanent Lord-in-Waiting 2000.
(Ralph) Thomas Campion Sherman Stonor was born 16 April, 1940, son of the 6th Baron Camoys, DL (1913-76), and his wife the former Mary Jeanne Stourton (who died in 1987), scion of the Barons Mowbray, Segrave & Stourton. He succeeded his father in the barony, 9 March, 1976.
The peerage was created in the Peerage of England by Writ of Summons in 1383, and on the death of the 2nd Baron, 12 Aug, 1426, it fell into abeyance and so remained for 413 years, until the termination of the abeyance, on 14 Sept, 1839.
The 7th Baron married 11 June, 1966, Elizabeth Mary Hyde Parker (born 3 Sept, 1939), scion of the Parker baronets, the only daughter of Sir William Hyde Parker, 11th Baronet, of Melford Hall, Long Melford, by his wife the former Ulla Ditlef Nielsen, by whom he had issue, a son, William, and three daughters, Alina, Emily and Sophia.
The son the Hon (Ralph) William Robert Thomas Stonor (born 10 September, 1974), succeeds as the 8th Baron Camoys.
