Baron Broughshane, of Kensington in the County of London, was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created on 19 September 1945 for William Davison, who had earlier represented Kensington South in the House of Commons as a Conservative. The title became extinct on the death of his younger son, the third Baron (who had succeeded his elder brother in 1995), on 24 March 2006.
