Cameron-Ramsay-Fairfax-Lucy Baronets

The Fairfax Baronetcy, of The Holmes in the County of Roxburgh, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 14 March 1836 for Henry Fairfax. The title was in honour of his father, Vice-Admiral Sir William George Fairfax. The second Baronet assumed the additional surname of Ramsay in 1876, which was the maiden name of his maternal grandmother. The third Baronet assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Lucy in 1892 after his marriage to Ada Christina Lucy, daughter and heiress of Henry Spencer Lucy. In 1921 he added by Royal license the additional surname of Cameron.

Charlecote Park in the village of Charlecote in Warwickshire came into the Fairfax family through the marriage of the third Baronet to Ada Christina Lucy. The previous owners of Charlecote Park, the Lucy family, had become extinct in the male line. In the 20th century the family fell on harder times and they sold Charlecote Park to the National Trust.

The Lords Fairfax of Cameron are members of another branch of the Fairfax family.
