Hort Baronets

The Hort Baronetcy, of Castle Strange in the County of Middlesex, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 8 September 1767 for John Hort, Consul-General at Lisbon, Portugal. He was the second son of The Right Reverend Josiah Hort, Archbishop of Tuam. The second Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Kildare from 1831 to 1832. The third Baronet was a Lieutenant-General in the British Army and fought in the Crimean War. As of 13 June 2007 the presumed ninth and present Baronet has not successfully proven his succession to the title, and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant since 1995.

The theologian Fenton John Anthony Hort was the grandson of the first Baronet.
