Forwood baronets

The Forwood baronetcy, of The Priory, Gateacre, in the parish of Childwall in the County Palatine of Lancaster, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 5 September 1895 for the Conservative politician Sir Arthur Forwood, 1st Baronet,[1] son of Thomas Friend Brittain Peploe Forwood of Thornton Manor, and brother of Sir William Bower Forwood and Ernest Harrison Forwood.[2][3] [4][5] He served as Parliamentary and Financial Secretary to the Admiralty from 1886 to 1892.

The baronetcy became extinct on the death of the 4th Baronet in 2019.[6]
