The title of Lord Braybrooke was created in 1788 for John Griffin, Lord Howard de Walden. John Griffins family title of 'Griffin of Braybrooke' had become extinct on the death of his Uncle in 1743. Shortly after his succession to the Barony of Howard de Walden a title incorporating 'Braybrooke' was created for him in the form of Baron Braybrooke.
