The Brograve Baronetcy, of Worstead House in the County of Norfolk, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 28 July 1791 for Berney Brograve. [1] The title became extinct upon the death of the second Baronet in 1828. George Augustus Rye, nephew of Sir George, the second Baronet (son of his half-sister Ann Brograve), changed his last name to Brograve by Royal Licence three years after Sir George's death, [2] in the hope of having the baronetcy revived in his person, but his application was denied in 1831.[ citation needed ]
