Baron Cullen of Ashbourne
George Cokayne, ancestor of the Barons Cullen of Ashbourne.
Baron Cullen of Ashbourne, of Roehampton in the County of Surrey, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 21 April 1920 for Sir Brien Cokayne, Governor of the Bank of England from 1918 to 1920.
