Arms of the Rawlinson baronets

The Rawlinson Baronetcy, of North Walsham in the County of Norfolk, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 7 February 1891 for the orientalist, archaeologist and politician Henry Rawlinson. His son, the second Baronet, was a distinguished soldier. On 6 October 1919 he was raised to the Peerage of the United Kingdom as Baron Rawlinson, of Trent in the County of Dorset.
