The Leese baronetcy, of Sendholme in Send in the County of Surrey, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 15 July 1908 for Joseph Leese, Member of Parliament for Accrington from 1892 to 1910.[1]
The 3rd Baronet was a lieutenant general in the Coldstream Guards and served as Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Land Forces in South-East Asia from 1944 to 1945 and as General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of Eastern Command from 1945 to 1947.[1][2]
The baronetcy became extinct on the death of the 4th Baronet in 1979.[3]
