Rawlinson baronets
The Rawlinson baronetcy, of North Walsham in the County of Norfolk, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 7 February 1891 for the orientalist, archaeologist and politician Henry Rawlinson. He was Member of Parliament for Reigate during 1858, and for Frome from 1865 to 1868.[1]
His son the 2nd Baronet was a General in the British Army. On 6 October 1919 he was raised to the Peerage of the United Kingdom as Baron Rawlinson, of Trent in the County of Dorset. On his death on 26 March 1925 the barony became extinct, while the baronetcy passed to his younger brother, the 3rd Baronet.[1]
