Baronetage of Great Britain
The below is a list of all extant, dormant, unproven and under review baronets in the Baronetage of Great Britain. The Baronetage of Great Britain replaced the Baronetages of Nova Scotia and of England in 1707. It was replaced by the Baronetage of the United Kingdom in 1801.
In order to be recognised as a Baronet, it is necessary to prove a claim of succession. When this has been done, the name is entered on The Official Roll. This was ordained by Royal Warrant in 1910. Those who have not so proven are shown below as unproven, under review or dormant.
These baronetcies are listed in order of precedence (i.e. date order). For a complete list of baronetcies see List of baronetcies.
