The title of Baron Alington has been created three times in British history. The first creation came in 1642, when William Alington was created Baron Alington of Killard, in the County of Cork, in the Peerage of Ireland. In 1682 his second son, the third Baron, was created Baron Alington of Wymondley, in the County of Hertfordshire, in the Peerage of England. The English Barony became extinct on the death of his young son Giles, the fourth and second Baron respectively, in 1691, while the Irish Barony was inherited by Giles' uncle, the fifth Baron.
