John Yarde-Buller, 1st Baron Churston
John Yarde-Buller, 1st Baron Churston (12 April 1799 – 4 September 1871) was a British, Conservative politician.
Born John Buller-Yarde-Buller, he was the eldest son of Sir Francis Buller-Yarde-Buller, Bt. and his wife, Elizabeth. In 1833, he inherited his father's baronetcy and entered Parliament two years later as MP for South Devon. He held the seat for almost twenty-four years and on his retirement in 1858, was raised to the peerage as Baron Churston, of Churston Ferrers and Lupton, Co. Devon.[1] In 1860, he changed the family name to Yarde-Buller.
On 24 January 1823, Yarde-Buller married Elizabeth Wilson-Patten (the sister of the future Lord Winmarleigh); the couple had two children:
- Hon. John (1823–1867), soldier
- Hon. Bertha (died 1872), married Sir Massey Lopes, Bt.
Lord Churston died in 1871 and his titles passed to his eldest grandson, John.
