Carew baronets

Arms of Carew: Or, 3 lions passant in pale sable^[1] These were the arms shown on the seal of "Nicholas de Carreu" (c. 1255–1311), appended to the Barons' Letter, 1301, which he joined as "Lord of Mulesford" and which were blazoned for the same bearer in the Caerlaverock Poem or Roll of Arms of 1300, when he was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle. From him are descended the Carew baronets of Antony and of Haccombe

There have been three baronetcies created for persons with the surname Carew, two in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of Great Britain. One creation is extant as of 2008.

The Carew Baronetcy, of Antony in the County of Cornwall, was created in the Baronetage of England on 9 August 1641 for Richard Carew, Member of Parliament for Cornwall and St Michael's. He was the son of the antiquary Richard Carew. The second Baronet also represented Cornwall in the House of Commons. The third Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Cornwall, Bodmin, Lostwithiel and Saltash. The fifth Baronet was Member of Parliament for Saltash and Cornwall while the sixth Baronet represented Cornwall. The title became extinct on the death of the eighth Baronet in 1799.

The Carew Baronetcy, of Haccombe in the County of Devon, was created in the Baronetage of England on 2 August 1661 for Thomas Carew, Member of Parliament for Tiverton. The Carews are an ancient Cornwall and Devon family and claim descent (along with the Dukes of Leinster and Earls of Plymouth) from Walter Fitz-Other, Castellan of Windsor in 1078. Charles Carew, grandson of Reverend Thomas Carew, younger son of the sixth Baronet, sat as Member of Parliament for Tiverton. Patrick Henry Curtis Carew (b. 1931), great-grandson of Thomas Carew (1810–1876), third son of the seventh Baronet, is a Brigadier-General in the Royal Canadian Dragoons.^[2]

The Carew Baronetcy, of Beddington in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 11 January 1715 for Nicholas Carew, Member of Parliament for Haslemere and Surrey. The title became extinct on the death of his son, the second Baronet, in 1762.
