Newman baronets

There have been three baronetcies created for persons with the surname Newman, one in the Baronetage of England and two in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. Two of the creations are extant as of 2007.

The Newman Baronetcy, of Fifehead-Magdalen in the County of Devon, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 20 December 1699 for Richard Newman. He later represented Milborne Port in the House of Commons. The title became extinct on the death of the second Baronet in 1747.

The Newman Baronetcy, of Mamhead in the County of Devon, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 17 March 1836 for Robert Newman, Member of Parliament for Exeter from 1818 to 1826 and High Sheriff of Devon in 1827. The third Baronet was High Sheriff of Devon in 1871. The fourth Baronet represented Exeter in the House of Commons from 1918 to 1931. The latter year he was created Baron Mamhead, of Exeter in the County of Devon, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The peerage became extinct on his death in 1945 while the baronetcy is still extant.

The Neumann, later Newman Baronetcy, of Cecil Lodge in Newmarket in the County of Cambridge, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 6 February 1912 for Sigmund Neumann. He was a partner in the firms of S Neumann and Co, merchants, and Neumann, Luebeck and Co, bankers. Neumann was the son of Gustav Neumann of Fürth, Bavaria. The second Baronet assumed by Royal licence the surname of Newman in lieu of Neumann in 1936 and served as High Sheriff of Hertfordshire in 1939.
