The 17th Bt carries and uses the name Wren that derives from the name of the son of the 7th Bt. who married Theodosia, the great-granddaughter of the famous English architect and polymath, Sir Christopher Wren. Theodosia was her father's only child, and married Chandos Wren-Hoskyns on 20 April 1837 after Chandos Hoskyns had his name changed in the previous week by Royal Licence. They had one daughter, who died without issue. Her Wren inheritance passed to her cousins in the Hoskyns family. The Hoskyns family continued to use Wren and Chandos in other branches in subsequent generations to keep the names alive.{{cite web |last=Lundy |first=Darryl |url=http://www.thepeerage.com/p31299.htm#i312983 |title= Chandos Wren-Hoskyns |publisher= The Peerage}}{{Unreliable source?|failed=y |date=February 2013}}, thepeerage.com, accessed 2 February 2011
