Newton baronets

The Newton Baronetcy, of The Wood, Sydenham Hill, Lewisham, in the County of Kent, and Kottingham House, Burton-on-Trent, in the County of Stafford, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 18 May 1900 for Alfred Newton, Lord Mayor of London from 1899 to 1900.

The first Sir John Newton belonged to an ancient Gloucestershire family, originally surnamed Caradoc.

He received his baronetcy as reward for providing King Charles II with troops to defend the plantation of Ulster.

The royal patent of 1660 that created the baronetcy stipulated that upon the death of the first baronet, who was childless, the honour would "revert" to his "kinsman" John Newton, resident of Culverthorpe, in Lincolnshire.

The heir apparent is the present holder's son Timothy Garnar Newton (born 1973).
