Boughey baronets

The Fletcher, later Boughey Baronetcy, of Newcastle-under-Lyme and of Betley both in the County of Stafford, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.

In compliance with his great-grandfather's will the second Baronet assumed by sign-manual the surname of Boughey in 1805.

He acquired an estate at Forton, Staffordshire where he rebuilt Aqualate Hall.

As of 2008[update] the title was held by his eldest son, John, the eleventh Baronet, who succeeded in 1978.

[13] The heir presumptive is the present holder's brother James Richard Boughey (born 1960).
