Gathorne-Hardy is the name of a British
aristocratic family. The first part of the name is pronounced with a long a, i.e. "gay-thorn". The founder of the family was
Gathorne Gathorne-Hardy, 1st Earl of Cranbrook. The "eccentric Gathorne-Hardys" as they are sometimes known,[citation needed] have produced many notable members of 19th and 20th century British society.
The 1st Earl of Cranbrook was a prominent Conservative statesman who "won the full confidence and warm personal regard of
Queen Victoria."
