Clayton baronets of Marden Park (1732)

The Clayton baronetcy, of Marden Park in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 13 January 1732[1] for William Clayton, Member of Parliament for Bletchingley.[2] He was the nephew of Sir Robert Clayton, Lord Mayor of London in 1679.[3]

Clayton was succeeded by his son Sir Kenrick Clayton, 2nd Baronet, who also represented Bletchingley in the House of Commons;[4] his son Robert, the third Baronet, was Member of Parliament for Bletchingley, Surrey and Ilchester.[5] He was childless and was succeeded by his first cousin Sir William Clayton, 4th Baronet, who was the son of William Clayton, younger son of 1st Baronet. Clayton notably served as High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire.[2][6] His second son East was created a baronet, of Hall Place, in his own right in 1838 (see Clayton-East baronets of Hall Place (1838)). Clayton was succeeded by his eldest son Sir William Clayton, 5th Baronet. He was a General in the Army and fought at the Battle of Waterloo. He also represented Great Marlow in Parliament.[2]

On his death the title passed to his grandson, the 6th Baronet, son of Captain William Capel Clayton.[2] He was High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire and Norfolk. He was childless and on his death in 1914 the title passed to his second cousin Sir Gilbert Clayton-East, 3rd Baronet, Hall Place (see below for earlier history of this title), who became the seventh Baronet of Marden Park as well. In 1870 he had assumed the surname of Clayton-East in lieu of Gilbert-East. His grandson, the 9th/5th Baronet, assumed in 1932 by deed poll the surname of Clayton-East-Clayton in lieu of Clayton-East. However, on his early death the same year, the line of the second son of the fourth Baronet failed and the baronetcy of Hall Place became extinct. The late Baronet was succeeded in the baronetcy of Marden Park by his second cousin twice removed, the tenth Baronet. He was the son of Sir FitzRoy Augustus Talbot Clayton, son of Reverend Augustus Philip Clayton, fifth and youngest son of the 4th Baronet. As of 2021, the title is held by the 10th Baronet's great-grandson, the 13th Baronet, who succeeded his father in that year.
