- Sir William Chaytor, 1st Baronet
Sir William Chaytor, 1st Baronet (29 April 1771–28 January 1847) was a British politician and businessman.
Chaytor was the illegitimate son of William Chaytor, by Jane Lee (they were later married). He had banking interests and was a major landowner in north east England. He owned Witton Park, the estate of Witton Castle, including the William Pit. He became a board member of the Stockton and Darlington Railway which served the pit. The architect Ignatius Bonomi extended Witton Castle and built the Croft Spa Hotel and the now-demolished Clervaux Castle near Croft for Chaytor.
Chaytor was made a baronet in 1831. He served as a Whig Member of Parliament for Sunderland from 1832 to 35 and was a supporter of Earl Grey and of the Reform Act 1832.
Chaytor was married to Isabella (1781-1854). Their eldest son, also William Chaytor, was also a Member of Parliament.
