Sir Herbert Perrott, 5th Baronet
Encyclopedia
Sir Herbert Charles Perrott, 5th and 1st Baronet (26 October 1849 - 15 February 1922) was an English baronet who succeeded to a 1716 baronetcy in 1886 and was created a baronet in his own right on 21 June 1911 with precedence to his heirs male from the 1716 creation. Since there were no sons, the baronetcies became extinct with his death in 1922.
He was made a Companion of Honour
in 1918. Perrott was Chief Secretary of the St. John Ambulance Association from its formation in 1877 and secretary-general of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem
in England from 1910.

The 1716 baronetcy had been created for Sir Robert Perrott, styled 1st Bart., of Richmond, Surrey (d. 1759), a relative of Sir John Perrot
, lord deputy of Ireland in the reign of Queen Elizabeth
. It was claimed that he was created a baronet on 1 July 1716 with limitation to his brother and the heirs male of his body, in reward for eminent diplomatic services, but no patent was registered in the College of Arms
. Thus, the nephew Sir Richard Perrott (lineal ancestor of Sir Herbert) assumed the style of Baronet, but was not presumably so recognized. The 1911 creation was probably designed to overcome the failure to register the patent at the time of creation.
The 3rd Baronet, Sir Edward Bindloss Perrott (1784-1859) married in 1810, Louisa Augusta Bayly (d. 1860, aged 81), a niece of Henry Bayly Paget, 1st Earl of Uxbridge
, and cousin of the 1st Marquess of Anglesey
, K.G, already a notable war hero. Sir Herbert was therefore a third cousin of the 3rd Marquess of Anglesey.
