Lethbridge baronets

The Lethbridge Baronetcy, of Westaway House in Devon and Winkley Court in the County of Somerset, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.

[3][4] Philip Bowchier had leased Westaway in 1666 from Sir John Chichester, 1st Baronet, of Raleigh (1623–1667),[5] also in the parish of Pilton.

[5] In 1687 Christopher Lethbridge acquired a new lease for 1,000 years from the Chichesters,[6] and shortly thereafter a new larger house was built on the site, which survives today.

He was succeeded by his oldest surviving son, Sir Wroth Acland Lethbridge, who pursued an army career, as did the 5th and 6th baronets.

The heir apparent to the baronetcy is John Francis Buckler Noel Lethbridge (born 1977), eldest son of the 7th Baronet.
