The son of Lord Eustace Cecil, fourth son of the 2nd Marquess of Salisbury KG, the first baron was married to the horticulturist the Hon. Alicia Amherst. As of 2024[update] the title is held by their great-grandson, the fourth baron, who succeeded his father in 2011.
The heir apparent is the present baron's only son the Hon. William Evelyn Cecil (b. 1996).[4]
