The Kent baronetcy, of Fornham in the County of Suffolk, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 16 August 1782 for Charles Kent, later Member of Parliament for Thetford.[1] He was the son of the London merchant Sir Charles Egleton, Sheriff of London in 1742, and his wife Sarah Kent; he changed his surname to Kent on inheriting from his maternal grandfather Samuel Kent.[2]
The title became extinct on the death of the 3rd Baronet in 1848.[2]
