Kennaway baronets

The Kennaway Baronetcy of Hyderabad in the East Indies, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.

In 1713 the young William I Kennaway moved from Scotland to Exeter in Devon to continue his trade as a sergemaker and clothier.

[4] His son William II Kennaway joined the business which between the years 1750 and 1790 expanded into a major force in the Devonshire woollen trade, which however soon thereafter collapsed due to the Napoleonic Wars.

[5] The seat of the Kennaway Baronets since 1794 has been Escot House in the parish of Talaton, near Ottery St Mary, Devon.

[6] The heir presumptive is Roger Ian Kennaway (born 1938), a kinsman of the current Baronet.

Arms of Kennaway: Argent, a fess azure between two eagles displayed in chief gules and in base through an annulet of the third a slip of olive and another of palm in saltire proper [ 1 ]
