The Bayntun-Rolt Baronetcy, of Spye Park in the County of Wiltshire, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. [1] It was created on 7 July 1762 for Edward Bayntun-Rolt, for many years Member of Parliament for Chippenham. [2]
He was born Edward Rolt, the grandson of Sir Thomas Rolt and Anne Bayntun, daughter of Henry Bayntun, of Spye Park, Calne, Wiltshire. In 1717 he assumed by royal licence the additional surname of Bayntun after inheriting the estates of his great-uncle, John Bayntun. He was succeeded by his only legitimate son, the second Baronet, who sat as Member of Parliament for Weobly, Herefordshire. He had no surviving male issue and the title became extinct on his death in 1816.
Earl of Radnor is a title which has been created twice. It was first created in the Peerage of England in 1679 for John Robartes, 2nd Baron Robartes, a notable political figure of the reign of Charles II. He was made Viscount Bodmin at the same time. Robartes was the son of Richard Robartes, who had been created Baronet in July 1621 and Baron Robartes, of Truro, in the Peerage of England in 1626. All three titles became extinct on the death of the fourth Earl in 1757. Anna Maria Hunt, great-niece of the fourth Earl, married the Hon. Charles Bagenal-Agar, youngest son of James Agar, 1st Viscount Clifden of Gowran. Their son Thomas James Agar-Robartes was created Baron Robartes in 1869.

The earldom was revived in 1815 for Orlando Bridgeman, 2nd Baron Bradford. The Bridgeman family had previously succeeded to the Newport estates. The title of the peerage refers to the ancient hundred of Bradford in Shropshire, and not, as might be assumed, to the city of Bradford, Yorkshire, or the town of Bradford-on-Avon in Wiltshire.

Lord Rokeby never married and was succeeded in the barony and baronetcy according to the special remainders in the letters patent by his third cousin Matthew Robinson-Morris, the second Baron and fourth Baronet. He was the son of Matthew Robinson, son of Thomas Robinson, son of Sir Leonard Robinson, brother of William Robinson, great-grandfather of the first Robinson Baronet and the first Baron Rokeby. The second Baron was an academic, politician and eccentric. Born Matthew Robinson, he assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Morris in 1746 on succeeding to the Mount Morris Estate in Monks Horton, Kent through his mother.
