Viscount Mills

Viscount Mills, of Kensington in the County of London, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1962 for the Conservative politician Percy Mills, 1st Baron Mills. He had already been created a Baronet, of Alcester in the County of Warwick, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 1 July 1953, and Baron Mills, of Studley in the County of Warwick, in 1957, also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
