Oakshott baronets

The Oakshott Baronetcy, of Bebington in the County Palatine of Chester, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created on 10 July 1959 for the Hendrie Oakshott, Conservative Member of Parliament for Bebington. In 1964 he was further honoured when he was created a life peer as Baron Oakshott, of Bebington in the County Palatine of Chester. The life barony became extinct on his death in 1975 while he was succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son, the second Baronet. As of 2014 the title is held by the first Baronet's grandson, who succeeded in 2014.[2]

gollark: No, it was just you being stupid.
gollark: See, it would be REALLY evil-mastermind if you actually came up with a really convincing argument that Google's privacy invasion was good and convinced us. But this is just stupid.
gollark: The thing is, andrew, it makes you seem stupider in aggregate, so people consider you stupider and are less likely to think "hmm maybe he is PRETENDING".
gollark: I genuinely believe(d) you (a/we)ere that stupid.
