Chaytor baronets of Croft and Witton Castle (1831)

The Chaytor baronetcy, of Croft in the County of York and of Witton Castle in the County of Durham, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 30 September 1831 for William Chaytor, an industrialist and Whig politician who served as MP for Richmond in the first Reform Parliament.

He was succeeded by his eldest son William Richard Carter Chaytor, the second baronet, who represented Durham in the House of Commons.

He died unmarried at an early age and was succeeded by his younger brother, Walter Clervaux Chaytor, the fifth baronet, who served as a Justice of the Peace.

Sir Edmund's wife, Isobel, was a socialite who went travelling in Syria and flew to Australia to lecture on fashion.

[6] The heir apparent to the presumed 9th Baronet is his only son, John Gordon Chaytor (born 1973).
