Holden baronets of Oakworth House (1893)

The Holden Baronetcy, of Oakworth House in Keighley in the County of York,[1] was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom in 1893 for the inventor, manufacturer and Liberal politician Isaac Holden. He had previously represented Knaresborough, Northern West Riding of Yorkshire and Keighley in Parliament.[2]

His eldest son, the 2nd Baronet, represented Bradford East and Buckrose in the House of Commons. On 4 July 1908, he was raised to the peerage as Baron Holden, of Alston in the County of Cumberland.[3][2] The barony became extinct on the death of his grandson, the 3rd Baron, on 6 July 1951; the baronetcy was passed on to his second cousin once removed, the 5th Baronet. He was the son of Edward Holden, a younger son of the 1st Baronet.[4]
