Pease baronets

Sir Joseph Pease, 1st Baronet

There have been two baronetcies created for members of the Pease family, both in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. Both titles are extant.

The Pease Baronetcy, of Hutton Lowcross and Pinchinthorpe in the County of York, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 18 May 1882 for Joseph Pease. He represented South Durham and Barnard Castle in the House of Commons. Pease was the son of Joseph Pease and the grandson of Edward Pease. He was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Baronet. He sat as Member of Parliament for York and Cleveland.^[1]

The Pease Baronetcy, of Hummersknott in the County of Durham, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 25 June 1920 for the coal magnate Arthur Pease. He was the son of Arthur Pease, younger brother of the first Baronet of the 1882 creation.

In addition, three members of the Pease family have been elevated to the peerage. Jack Pease, 1st Baron Gainford (1917), was the second son of the first Baronet of the 1882 creation. Herbert Pease, 1st Baron Daryngton (1923), was the younger brother of the first Baronet of the 1920 creation. John Pease, 1st Baron Wardington (1936), Chairman of Lloyds Bank, was a first cousin once removed of the first Baronet of the 1882 creation.
