Harry Levy-Lawson, 1st Viscount Burnham
Harry Lawson Webster Levy-Lawson, 1st Viscount Burnham, GCMG, CH, TD, JP, DL (18 December 1862 – 20 July 1933), was a British newspaper proprietor.Levy-Lawson was born in St Pancras, London, in 1862, the son of Edward Levy (who was created Baron Burnham in 1903) and his wife Harriette Georgiana Webster.In 1916, on the death of his father, he succeeded to the titles of Baron Burnham and the baronetcy and took his seat in the House of Lords.On 19 December 1924, for example, Burnham hosted a dinner party for King George V with Rudyard Kipling, Harry's daughter, Dorothy Levy-Lawson, and her husband, Major Sir John Coke, amongst the guests.Burnham had no surviving male issue so the viscountcy became extinct: his younger brother, William Levy-Lawson (1864–1943), succeeded to the baronetcy and barony.
