Rokewode-Gage baronets

The Gage, later Rokewode-Gage Baronetcy, of Hengrave in the County of Suffolk, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 15 July 1662 for Edward Gage. The eighth Baronet assumed in 1843 by Royal licence the additional surname of Rokewode in compliance with the will of his uncle, John Gage Rokewode. The title became extinct on the death of the ninth Baronet in 1872.
