Viscount Eccles, of Chute in the County of Wiltshire, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The Viscountcy was bestowed in 1964 on David Eccles, a Conservative politician who served as Member of Parliament, Minister of Works, Minister of Education and President of the Board of Trade during his career. Eccles had already been created Baron Eccles, of Chute in the County of Wiltshire, in 1962.
The present Lord Eccles and his family are life tenants of Moulton Hall, Moulton, near Richmond, North Yorkshire, a 17th-century house, the property of the National Trust. Moulton Hall has a fine carved staircase. The actual manor house, the former Moulton Hall, burned to the ground in 1921.
