Mann baronets of Linton Hall (1755)

The Mann baronetcy, of Linton Hall in the County of Kent, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 3 March 1755 for the diplomat Horace Mann, with a special remainder, in the first instance to his brother Galfridus.[1]

His nephew, the 2nd Baronet represented Maidstone and Sandwich in the House of Commons. The title became extinct on his death in 1814, leaving no male heir.[2]
