Just as a note on usage, for all those foreigners not acquainted with the British peerage ...

Except in extremely formal usage, a Baron is never called that. Baron signifies only the lowest tier of the nobility, whose higher tiers are Viscounts, Earls, Marquesses, and Dukes, in ascending order. They're all Lords, however, and since there is no need to distinguish a Baron, he is simply called a Lord. So our General Kitchen would now usually be called Lord Kitchen, or more formally, The Lord Kitchen of Eutaw Springs. The first name, by the way, is never mentioned in this context.
