Temple baronets

The Temple Baronetcy, of Stowe in the County of Buckingham, was created in the Baronetage of England on 24 September 1611.

The Temple Baronetcy, of The Nash in Kempsey in the County of Worcester, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 16 August 1876 for the politician and colonial administrator Richard Temple.

This family descends from William Dicken, who in 1740 married Henrietta, daughter and co-heir of the fifth Baronet of the 1611 creation.

Their son assumed by Royal licence the surname of Temple in lieu of Dicken in 1796.

The heir presumptive is the present holder's brother Anthony St. George Temple (born 1941).
