Escutcheon of the Farmer baronets of Mount Pleasant

The Farmer baronetcy, of Mount Pleasant in the County of Sussex, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.[1] It was created on 19 January 1780 for George Farmer, in honour of his late father, Captain George Farmer, who was killed when commanding HMS Quebec in the naval action of 6 October 1779 against French ships off Ushant.[2] The title became extinct on the death of the 5th Baronet in 1916.[3]
