Temple Baronets

There have been four baronetcies created for persons with the surname Temple, two in the Baronetage of England, one in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.

The Temple Baronetcy, of Stowe in the County of Buckingham, was created in the Baronetage of England on 24 September 1611. For more information on this creation, see the Viscount Cobham.

The Temple Baronetcy was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 7 July 1662 for the colonial administrator Thomas Temple. He was a grandson of the first Baronet of the 1611 creation. The title became extinct on his death in 1674.

The Temple Baronetcy, of Sheen in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of England on 31 January 1666 for the politician William Temple. The title became extinct on his death in 1699.

The Temple Baronetcy, of The Nash in Kempsey in the County of Worcester, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 16 August 1876 for the politician and colonial administrator Richard Temple. This family descends from William Dicken, who in 1740 married Henrietta, daughter and co-heir of the fifth Baronet of the 1611 creation. Their son assumed by Royal licence the surname of Temple in lieu of Dicken in 1796. His grandson was the first Baronet.
