Baron Hotham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Hotham, of South Dalton in the County of York, is a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1797 for the naval commander Admiral William Hotham, with remainder to the heirs male of his father. Hotham was the third son of Sir Beaumont Hotham, 7th Baronet, of Scorborough. In 1811 he succeeded his nephew as 11th Baronet, of Scorborough. On Lord Hotham's death in 1813 he was succeeded in both titles by his younger brother Beaumont, the second Baron and twelfth Baronet. The Hotham Baronetcy, of Scorborough in the County of York, had been created in the Baronetage of England in 1622 for Lord Hotham's great-great-great-grandfather John Hotham, who was beheaded by the Parliamentarians in 1645.
The family seat is Dalton Hall, Beverley, East Yorkshire.
