- Loraine Baronets
The Baronetcy of Loraine of Kirk Harle was created in the Baronetage of England for Thomas Loraine on 26 September 1664.
The Loraines trace their ancestry back to Robert de Loraine a Norman knight who arrived in England with William the Conqueror. The Northumbrian estate at Kirk Harle was acquired when William Loraine married the Strother heiress of Kirk Harle early in the 15th century.
