John Stephen Robinson,2nd Baron Martonmere (born 12 July 1963),is the current holder of the British peerage title of Baron Martonmere. This hereditary title was created in 1964 for his grandfather,the British Conservative Party politician Roland Robinson,who had served as a Member of Parliament and subsequently became Governor of Bermuda.
He is the elder son of the Hon. Richard Anthony Gasque Robinson (1935–1979) and his wife,Wendy Patricia Blagden (1939–2023). [1] He has two siblings,David Alan Robinson [2] and Carolyn Elizabeth Robinson. [3]
His paternal grandparents were Roland Robinson,1st Baron Martonmere,and Maysie Gasque. His maternal grandfather was James Cecil Blagden of Bapchild Court in Sittingbourne,Kent. [4]

When his paternal grandfather died in 1989,he succeeded to the title as the 2nd Baron Martonmere,of Blackpool in the County Palatine of Lancaster. [5] This is due to the fact that his father had died in 1979.
