Harpur Baronets

Harpur Baronets

The Baronetcy of Harpur of Calke Abbey was created in the Baronetage of England on 8 September 1626 for Henry Harpur of Calke Abbey, Derbyshire.

The 4th Baronet married Catherine Crewe, daughter of Thomas, 2nd Lord Crewe and in 1808 the 7th Baronet changed his name to Harpur Crewe in commemoration of his ancestry. The name was later changed again to Harpur-Crewe.

The Baronetcy was extinct on the death of the 10th Baronet in 1924. The Derbyshire estate passed down on the female line and in 1949 was inherited by Charles Jenney, (grandson of the last Baronet), who changed his name to Harpur-Crewe. Inheritance Tax problems enforced the sale of the estate on his death in 1981 and in 1985 Calke Abbey passed to the National Trust.
