Richard Tufton

Richard Tufton

Sir Richard Tufton, 1st Baronet (1813-20 June 1871), was a British baronet.

Tufton was born in Verdun, France, as the reputed natural son of Henry Tufton, 11th Earl of Thanet, who devised the substantial estates on him. On the Earl's death in 1849 he inherited the estates, which included Skipton Castle in Yorkshire, and became a British citizen the same year. In 1851 he was created a Baronet, of Appleby in the County of Westmorland. Tufton married Adelaide Amelie Lacour in 1843. He died in June 1871 and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son Henry, who was elevated to the peerage as Baron Hothfield in 1881.
