Hawkesworth baronets

The Hawkesworth Baronetcy (also Hawksworth and Hoxworth), of Hawksworth, near Guiseley in West Yorkshire, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 6 December 1678 for Walter Hawkesworth. The second Baronet was High Sheriff of Yorkshire in 1721, and was twice president of the old masonic lodge at York, later styled the Grand Lodge of All England. The title became extinct on his death in 1735.[1][2]
