Fitzherbert baronets

Tissington Hall

The FitzHerbert baronetcy, of Tissington in the County of Derby, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 22 January 1784 for William FitzHerbert, of Tissington Hall, Derbyshire. The FitzHerberts descend from Norman knights and from the 12th century FitzHerberts of Norbury Hall, Norbury, Derbyshire. They are related to the FitzHerberts of Swynnerton Hall, Staffordshire (see Baron Stafford).

Alleyne, a younger brother of the first Baronet, was created Baron St Helens in 1791.

Successive baronets served as High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1815, 1865, 1866, and 1940.

Tissington Hall has been the family seat since the 15th century.
