Oakshott baronets

The Oakshott Baronetcy, of Bebington in the County Palatine of Chester, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 10 July 1959 for the Hendrie Oakshott, Conservative Member of Parliament for Bebington. In 1964 he was further honoured when he was created a life peer as Baron Oakshott, of Bebington in the County Palatine of Chester. The life barony became extinct on his death in 1975 while he was succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son, the second Baronet. As of 2014 the title is held by the first Baronet's grandson, who succeeded in 2014.
