Edward Henry Rich, 10th Baron Rich, 8th Earl of Warwick and 5th Earl of Holland (1695–1759), of Holland House, Kensington, Middlesex, was an English peer.[1]
Career
Rich succeeded his second cousin Edward Rich, 7th Earl of Warwick, on his death in 1721.
Marriage and progeny

- Lady Charlotte Rich (died 12 April 1791), only daughter and sole heiress.
Death and burial
He died on 7 September 1759, without male progeny, thus his titles became extinct. His monument survives in St Mary Abbots Church, Kensington.[2] Later that year Francis Greville, 1st Earl Brooke, successfully petitioned King George II for the vacant title of Earl of Warwick.
