Holden Baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There have been three Baronetcies created for people with the surname Holden.

The Holden Baronetcy, of Oakworth House in the County of York, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom in 1893 for the inventor, manufacturer and Liberal politician Isaac Holden.
