Mansel baronets

There have been three baronetcies, all in the Baronetage of England, created for members of the Mansel family, which played a major role in the early re-settlement of the Gower Peninsula, in Glamorgan, Wales.

However, in 1903 the latter discovered evidence that his grandfather's first marriage was indeed valid and relinquished the use of the title in favour of his uncle Edward Berkeley Philipps (later Mansel), who became the twelfth Baronet.

When he died childless in 1908 the title was resumed by his nephew Courtenay Cecil Mansel, the thirteenth Baronet.

Sir Courtenay Cecil Mansel later represented Penryn and Falmouth in the House of Commons.

The heir apparent is the eldest son of the 15th baronet, John Philip Mansel (born 1982).
