Baron Crawshaw, of Crawshaw in the County of Lancaster, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1892 for Thomas Brooks. He notably served as High Sheriff of Lancashire in 1884. Brooks had already been created a Baronet, of Crawshaw Hall in the County of Lancaster, in 1891. As of 2007 the titles are held by his great-grandson, the fifth Baron, who succeeded his elder brother in 1997. The seat of the Brooks family is Whatton House near Loughborough in Leicestershire.
