Cecil Bisshopp, 12th Baron Zouche

In 1815 the Barony of Zouche was called out of abeyance in favour of Sir Cecil Bishopp, 8th Baronet (29 December 1752 – 11 November 1828) of Parham Park (see Bishopp baronets of Parham), who became the twelfth Baron Zouche. His two sons had died before him: His eldest son Lieutenant-Colonel Cecil Bisshopp had died in 1813 at age 30 at Ontario, Canada, from wounds received in action against the Americans. His second son Charles-Cecil, Royal Navy, died unmarried in Jamaica in 1808 of yellow fever after the frigate Muros was wrecked whilst endeavouring to destroy some batteries near Havana Cuba. Thus on his death in 1828 he was succeeded in the Baronetcy (but not the family estate at Parham) by a cousin George Bisshopp Dean of Lismore in Ireland, while the Barony of Zouche once again fell into abeyance, this time between his two daughters Hon. Harriet Anne Curzon and Katherine Annabella, Lady Brooke-Pechell.
