The Every Baronetcy, of Egginton in the County of Derby, is a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 26 May 1641 for Simon Every, Member of Parliament for Leicester in 1640 and a supporter of the Royalist cause in the Civil War. Born into the Every family of Dorset and Somerset, and a cousin to the Brice family of Somerset,[1] he married Anne, daughter and co-heir of Sir Henry Leigh, of Egginton, Derbyshire. After his marriage, Every settled at Egginton.[2] [3]
The family seat of Egginton Hall burnt down in 1736, and was replaced by the eighth baronet (the great-great-grandson of the fourth) with a new house, which was demolished in 1954.
The fourth baronet was a captain in the Royal Navy and a supporter of William III. He was High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1718. The fifth baronet was Rector of Egginton and of Navenby, Lincolnshire.[4] The sixth baronet was High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1749.[5] The seventh Baronet was Rector of Waddington, Lincolnshire.[6] The eighth baronet was High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1783.[5] The current baronet was High Sheriff for Derbyshire in 2009.
The heir apparent to the baronetcy is the 13th Baronet's eldest son, Edward James Henry Every (born 1975).
