Reade Baronets

Reade Baronets

There have been two baronetcies created for members of the Reade family, both in the Baronetage of England. One creation is extant as of 2008.

The Reade Baronetcy, of Brocket Hall in the County of Hertford, was created in the Baronetage of England on 16 March 1642 for John Reade. The title became extinct on the death of the third Baronet in 1712.

The Reade Baronetcy, of Barton in the County of Berkshire (now Oxfordshire), was created in the Baronetage of England on 4 March 1661 for Compton Reade. He was the nephew of the first Baronet of the 1642 creation. The fourth Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Cricklade. Lieutenant-General George Reade, fourth son of the second Baronet, was Member of Parliament for Tewkesbury.

Famous quotes containing the word reade:

    How so ere, my man
    Shall reade a piece of virgil, tacitus,
    livie, or some better booke to us,
    Of which wee’ll speake our minds, amidst our meate;
    And Ile professe no verses to repeate:
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
