The Champneys, later Mostyn-Champneys Baronetcy, of Orchardleigh in the County of Somerset, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 12 January 1767 for Thomas Champneys, subsequently High Sheriff of Somerset from 1775 to 1776. He owned the Orchardleigh estate near Frome and other English properties. In 1771 he inherited from his uncle, Anthony Swymmer a sizeable plantation: Nutt's River, in the parish of St Thomas in the East, Surrey, close to Morant Bay, Jamaica. This estate produced sugar, rum and livestock, mainly cattle. In 1810, 241 slaves were counted as part of the property. By 1817 this had grown to a total of 260, 134 males and 126 females, including children. Leaving his wife and children in England, Champneys spent several years (1784–90) in Jamaica, joining the local Trelawney Militia as an artillery superintendent and overseeing the Windward coastal fort, in addition to being a magistrate in the parish of St Thomas in the East and St David Surrey. His financial affairs deteriorated; his father-in-law, Richard Cox, stepped in and by the turn of the 19th century had mortgaged all Champneys' properties, his remaining manors of Orchardleigh and Frome Selwood, along with Nutt's River, foreclosing on the eventual bankruptcy. Champneys died in Orchardleigh in 1821.
