Hill-Wood baronets

The Hill-Wood Baronetcy, of Moorfield in Glossop in the County of Derby, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 25 January 1921 for the businessman and Conservative politician Samuel Hill-Wood. Born Samuel Wood, he was the only son of Samuel Wood, a wealthy cotton manufacturer. He assumed in 1912 by Royal license the additional surname of Hill. This was the maiden name of his grandmother Alice, daughter of John Hill, of Liverpool.
