The Jones, later Lawrence-Jones Baronetcy, of Cranmer Hall in the County of Norfolk, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 30 September 1831 for Major-General John Jones, who had earlier fought with distinction in the Peninsular War. He married Catherine, daughter of Effingham Lawrence. The fifth Baronet was an author whose works include "Victorian Boyhood", "Edwardian Youth" and "Georgian Afternoon". The sixth Baronet assumed the additional surname of Lawrence.
