Leke baronets

There have been two baronetcies created for members of the Leke family, both in the baronetage of England.

The baronetcy of Leke of Sutton was created on 22 May 1611 for Francis Leke, of Sutton, Nottinghamshire who was later advanced as Baron Deincourt in 1628 and Earl of Scarsdale in 1645.[1]

The baronetcy of Leke of Newark-on-Trent was created on 15 December 1663 for Francis Leke, of Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire. He was the Member of Parliament for Nottinghamshire 1666-79; the baronetcy became extinct on the death of his son, Sir Francis, the second Baronet, in 1681.
