Fitzherbert Baronets

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.

Fitzherbert Baronets served as High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1815,1865, 1866 and 1940.
