Hawley baronets

There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Hawley, one in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of Great Britain.

The Hawley Baronetcy of Buckland, in the County of Somerset, was created in the Baronetage of England on 14 March 1644. For more information on this creation, see Baron Hawley.

The Hawley Baronetcy of Leybourne Grange, in the County of Kent, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 14 March 1795, for Henry Hawley. ^[1] The third Baronet, who served as High Sheriff of Kent in 1844, was succeeded by his brother. The fifth Baronet was the nephew of both the third and fourth Baronets, and the son of Reverend Henry Charles Hawley, Rector of Leybourne. The sixth Baronet died without issue and was succeeded by his nephew, who was High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1962. The eighth Baronet, who did not use his title, had not formally proven his succession and was therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage. As a result, the title was considered dormant from 1988. The baronetcy became extinct upon his death in 2015. [2]
