It was one of two titles created on 1 July 1543 for Murrough O'Brien, Prince of Thomond, who claimed descent from Brian Boru, a High King of Ireland. The grant of the English titles was conditional upon the abandonment of any Irish titles, the adoption of English customs and laws, pledging of allegiance to the Crown, apostasy from the Catholic Church, and conversion to the Church of Ireland. Murrough was made both Earl of Thomond in the Peerage of Ireland, with remainder to his nephew Donough O'Brien and Baron Inchiquin, with remainder to his male heirs.

Baron Hayter, of Chislehurst in the County of Kent, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1927 for the businessman Sir George Chubb, 1st Baronet.

Chubb was chairman and managing director of the firm Chubb and Sons Lock and Safe Co Ltd, established by his grandfather Charles Chubb in the early 19th century.

He was succeeded by his son, the second baron. He was managing director of Chubb and Sons Lock and Safe Co Ltd. His son, the third baron, was managing director and chairman of Chubb and Sons Lock and Safe Co Ltd and also served as deputy chairman of the House of Lords from 1981 to 1995.
