Yes, two in fact. Two different titles that is.
Complete Peerage, Volume Vi, pages 435 to 437.

The Rt.Hon. Sir Robert Henley, on 27 March 1760, was created
Lord Henley, Baron Henley of Grainge, co.Southampton, and,
on 19 May 1764, was created Earl of Northington. His brother
succeeded to the titles but as, he died unmarried, these titles
have become extinct.

Morton Frederick Eden, on 9 November 1799 was created
Baron Henley of Chardstock, co. Dorset. And, without looking
up Burke's or Debretts, I think this title still exists.

Hope this helps?
