Dolben baronets

Sir William Dolben, 3rd Baronet

The Dolben Baronetcy, of Findon in the County of Northamptonshire, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 1 April 1704 for Gilbert Dolben, son of John Dolben, Archbishop of York. Gilbert was judge of the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland) and MP for Ripon, Peterborough and Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. The 3rd Baronet was an MP for Oxford University and Northamptonshire, and was an avid campaigner for abolition of the slave trade. The title became extinct on the death of the 4th Baronet in 1837.

The family seat was Finedon Hall, in Finedon, Northamptonshire. It has now been converted into flats.
