Beecham Baronets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Beecham Baronetcy, of Ewanville in Huyton in the County of Lancaster, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 17 July 1914 for the Lancashire patent pill manufacturer Joseph Beecham. He was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Baronet. He was an influential conductor and notably founded the London Philharmonic Orchestra in 1932. As of 2007 the title is believed to be held by his grandson, the presumed fourth Baronet. However, he has not successfully proven his succession and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant. For more information, follow this link.
