About The Baron
––––––––––––
Baron Pitt of Cuckfield, formerly known as Mr. Christian Pitt, became the 35th Baron by right of occupation to the cestui qui vie title on 19 August 2024. 

The Baron is the King's prescribed governor over the Manor of Cuckfield, and may be succeeded by right of inheritance, alienation or occupation. Today, his role is to represent the interests of the Manor's residents, uphold customary law and hold the Crown and local government to account. Territorial barony is not to be confused with Parliamentary barony (or peerage). Both are, however, titles of nobility in England.

In addition to his official and ceremonial duties in the Manor of Cuckfield, the Baron has taken a keen and active interest in all areas of public life since his childhood. The Baron is a lawyer at Lincoln's Inn, Freeman of the Skinners Livery Company, volunteer with the Army Cadet Force, Chancellor of the Grand Priory of Knights Templar in England, member of Reform UK and strong advocate of the Roman Catholic Church.

The Baron works closely with many organisations, publicly supporting a wide variety of causes relating to English history and culture, philosophy, gymnastics and sport, the arts, healthcare, education and democratic representation. Do get in touch if you would like him to support your cause.
