The Barttelot Baronetcy, of Stopham in the County of West Sussex, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 14 June 1875 for the Conservative politician Walter Barttelot. The Barttelots are said to have come into England with William the Conqueror, and to have fixed their residence at a place called La Ford, in the parish of Stopham.[1]
As of 2007 the title is held by his great-great-grandson (the title having descended in the direct line), the fifth Baronet, who succeeded his father in 1944. He is a Colonel in the Coldstream Guards.
The family surname is pronounced "Bartlot". They have owned the village of Stopham since the Norman Conquest and seem to be descended through the female line from the Saxon family called Ford who had previously held it.
