Fellows baronets

The Fellows Baronetcy of Carshalton in the County of Surrey,[1] was a title equivalent to a knighthood (but with succession rights) in the Baronetage of Great Britain created on 20 January 1719 for John Fellows or John Fellowes[2] sub-governor and director of the South Sea Company. Because he was childless, the title became extinct on his death in 1724. After the death of royal physician Dr John Radcliffe, who has many institutions in Oxford named after him, Fellows purchased Carshalton House. The government confiscated its title as a result of the implosion of the South Sea Company in an investment catastrophe in 1721, but he continued to live there until his death in 1724.[2]

gollark: Which reminds me, time to `sudo pacman -Syu`.
gollark: I mean, I don't like forced updates, but it's better than *no* updates.
gollark: Doesn't having *no* updates even if you want them make it unsuitable for basically everything but a liveCD?
