Hood baronets of Wimbledon (1922)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Escutcheon of the Hood baronets of Wimbledon

The Hood baronetcy, of Wimbledon in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 16 January 1922 for Joseph Hood. He represented Wimbledon in the House of Commons as a Conservative from 1918 to 1924.[1] As of 2024, the presumed third holder of the title has not proved his succession and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant.[2]
