The Jones, later Prichard-Jones Baronetcy, of Bron Menai, Dwyran, in Llangeinwen in the County of Anglesey, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom, created on 26 July 1910 for John Prichard Jones,[3] head of Dickins and Jones (Limited) and founder of the Prichard-Jones Institute and Cottage Homes, Newborough, Anglesey. By 1911 he had adopted a hyphen to make Prichard part of his surname.

The second baronet was educated at Eton College and Christ Church, Oxford, graduating BA and MA. In 1936 he was called to the bar from Gray's Inn and during the Second World War was commissioned into The Bays, rising to the rank of captain.[4]
