Napier Sturt, 3rd Baron Alington

Captain Napier George Henry Sturt, 3rd Baron Alington (1 November 1896, St. Marylebone England – 17 September 1940, Cairo Egypt ), was a British peer who succeeded to the Barony on 30 July 1919, on the death of his father, Humphrey Sturt, 2nd Baron Alington. He owned Crichel House estate in Dorset. He may have been most notable for having dated Tallulah Bankhead in the 1920s.

He married Lady Mary Sibell Ashley-Cooper, daughter of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 9th Earl of Shaftesbury, on 27 November 1928. They had one child, Mary Anna Sibell Elizabeth Sturt (b. 1929, d. 2010).

He was a friend of the Polish composer Karol Szymanowski, who dedicated his Songs of an infatuated Muezzin Op.42 to Alington, on their publication in 1922. Over sixty-four years after his death, two writers claimed he was bisexual.

He had no male heir upon his death, so the title became extinct. Crichel estate passed to his 11-year-old daughter Mary, who later married Commander George (known as Toby) Marten. They fought the government in the Crichel Down Affair and won, leading to the resignation of a Minister.
