Graves-Sawle baronets

The Graves-Sawle baronetcy, of Penrice in the County of Cornwall and of Barley in the County of Devon, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created on 22 March 1836 for Joseph Graves-Sawle. Born Joseph Graves, he had assumed by Royal licence the surname of Sawle in 1815,[2] it being the surname of his maternal grandfather. Then in 1827 he resumed by Royal licence the surname of Graves, in addition to that of Sawle.[3]

The second Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Bodmin.[4] The title became extinct on the death of the fourth Baronet in 1932.[5]
