Earl of Pomfret

Earl of Pomfret

The title Earl of Pomfret, alias Pontefract, in the County of York, was a title created in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1721 for the 2nd Baron Leominster, which became extinct upon the death of the 5th Earl in 1867. The Earls bore the subsidiary title of Baron Leominster (1692) in the Peerage of England. The seat of the Fermor family was Easton Neston in Northamptonshire. The house came into the Hesketh family (who were later created Barons Hesketh) through the marriage in 1846 of Sir Thomas George Hesketh, 5th Baronet, of Rufford, to Lady Anna Maria Arabella Fermor, sister and heiress of the 5th Earl of Pomfret. The house was sold by the 3rd Baron Hesketh in 2005.
