Cecil Bisshopp, 12th Baron Zouche

[1][2] He was the eldest son of Sir Cecil Bisshopp, 7th Baronet of Parham Park, West Sussex and succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father in 1779.

In 1795, during the French Revolutionary Wars, he raised the Parham Troop of Sussex Yeomanry.

It usually exercised at his estate at Parham Park, drilling in the gallery of the house when the weather was wet.

The second son, Lieutenant Charles Cecil, Royal Navy, died unmarried in Jamaica in 1808 of yellow fever after the frigate Muros was wrecked whilst endeavouring to destroy some batteries near Havana, Cuba.

Thus on his death in 1828, he was succeeded in the Baronetcy (but not the family estate at Parham) by his cousin George Bisshopp, Dean of Lismore in Ireland, while the Barony of Zouche once again fell into abeyance, this time between his two surviving daughters Hon.
