Lawrence-Jones baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jones, later Lawrence-Jones Baronetcy, of Cranmer Hall in the County of Norfolk, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 30 September 1831 for Major-General Sir John Jones, 1st Baronet, who had earlier fought with distinction in the Peninsular War. He married Catherine, daughter of Effingham Lawrence. The second Baronet was murdered by robbers at Macri near Dalaman in Turkey. The fifth Baronet was an author and published several memoirs as L. E. Jones. His works include "Victorian Boyhood", "Edwardian Youth" and "Georgian Afternoon". The sixth Baronet assumed the additional surname of Lawrence.

Herbert Jones, second son of the third Baronet, was suffragan Bishop of Lewes.
