Barttelot baronets

The Barttelot Baronetcy, of Stopham in the County of West Sussex, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 14 June 1875 for the Conservative politician Walter Barttelot.^[1] The Barttelots are said to have come into England with William the Conqueror, and to have fixed their residence at a place called La Ford, in the parish of Stopham.^[2] The family surname is pronounced "Bartlot".

As of 2007 the title is held by his great-great-grandson (the title having descended in the direct line), Colonel Sir Brian Barttelot Bt OBE DL, the fifth Baronet, who succeeded his father in 1944. He is a Colonel in the Coldstream Guards and a Vice-President of the Standing Council of the Baronetage.^[3]
