Earl of Pomfret (alias Pontefract)[n 1] was a title in the Peerage of Great Britain created in 1721 for Thomas Fermor, 2nd Baron Leominster.

Some of the estates, including Easton Neston in South Northamptonshire, were restored after the accession of Edward VI.

[3] Sir George's grandson William Fermor was created a Baronet, of Easton Neston in the County of Northampton, in the Baronetage of England in 1641, aged nineteen and succeeded by his son.

The latter was succeeded by his son, who became a Gentleman of the Bedchamber to George III and sold the manor of Westoning in 1767 to John Everitt.

The main blocks and much of the gothick village of Hulcote were sold by the 3rd Baron Hesketh in 2005 to Leon Max.
