Brooksbank baronets

The Brooksbank Baronetcy, of Healaugh Manor in the County of York, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 15 September 1919 for Edward Brooksbank. He was a Justice of the Peace and a Deputy Lieutenant for the West Riding of Yorkshire. He was succeeded by his grandson, the second Baronet (the son of Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Brooksbank, eldest son of the first Baronet). He was a Colonel in the Yorkshire Yeomanry and also served as a Justice of the Peace and as a Deputy Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire. As of 2007 the title is held by his son, the third Baronet, who succeeded in 1983.

Stamp Brooksbank (1694–1756), great-great-great-grandfather of the first Baronet, was Governor of the Bank of England from 1741 to 1743 and represented Saltash and Colchester in the House of Commons. He acquired Healaugh Manor, near Tadcaster, North Yorkshire.
