Baron
It should be noted also that:
In Scotland, a Baron is called a Lord of Parliament
There are five categories of British peerage and they have a hierarchy themselves:
1. Peerage of England
2. Peerage of Scotland
3. Peerage of Ireland
4. Peerage of Great Britain
5. Peerage of United Kingdom
Also peerages are ranked based on creation date.
Therefore a Baron of the United Kingdom is a lower grade than a Baron of England, and the lower of two Baronies of the United Kingdom would be the one created most recently.
Hope that edit helps!

Yes. Hamling is the feudal Baron of Tamworth, in Staffordshire. This feudal Barony is noted in I J Sanders, English Baronies-A Study of Their Origin and Descent 1086-1327. Conveyance of feudal baronies are completed through private treaty as with property. Feudal titles should not be understood as peerage. This is an entirely different matter. Peerage can only be conveyed by the monarch, at one time making up the House of Lords. Heriditary Lords are now a miniorty in the house. Feudal titles bear few perks aside from keeping an important part of English history and personal value.
The Baron is a frequent visitor, remaining close to the community and active with Tamworth Castle and Museum.

A baron is a title of the English nobility, it is the lowest rank of the peerage. It is also used in Germany and Austria. Originally it was the title of the King's companions in Anglo-Saxon times. It then became the title of the holders of large estates 'baronies', who advised the King. Since the 16th century it has been one of the several ranks of English nobleman, above a baronet and below a viscount. A baron is entitled to be called 'Lord'.

The name baron is actually considered as a specific title in regard to nobility, it is more of a generic feudal http://wiki.answers.com/q3819917.html. The Term Baron comes from 'Spanish Baron' it means "freeman, Warrior". The word was merged was with Cognate Old English word 'Beorn' which means Nobleman. However it also means "Burden http://wiki.answers.com/q6142667.html".
In the time of the British Peerage scheme the barons were ranked below the viscounts, which being the lowest rank in the peerage. A female Baron is known as the honorific 'Baroness'. If this title comes in relation to the Feudal Barony by any tenure, it is known as Barony.
Outside the http://wiki.answers.com/q999643.html, the term baron is some times confused with the Non Peerage title Baronet. The rank in England was introduced in England by William the Conqueror.
