Every baronets

It was created on 26 May 1641 for Simon Every, Member of Parliament for Leicester in 1640 and a supporter of the Royalist cause in the Civil War.

Born into the Every family of Dorset and Somerset, and a cousin to the Brice family of Somerset,[1] he married Anne, daughter and co-heir of Sir Henry Leigh, of Egginton, Derbyshire.

[2][3] The family seat of Egginton Hall burnt down in 1736, and was replaced by the eighth baronet (the great-great-grandson of the fourth) with a new house, which was demolished in 1954.

The fourth baronet was a captain in the Royal Navy and a supporter of William III.

[7] The heir apparent to the baronetcy is the 13th Baronet's eldest son, Edward James Henry Every (born 1975).
