The Right Hon. Sir Gerald William Bagot, Bt., fifth Baron Bagot of Bagot's Bromley, co. Stafford, in the Peerage of Great Britain, and tenth baronet of Blithfield (England), was born on May 13, 1866, the fourth son of Vice-Admiral Henry Bagot and the third by his second wife, Eleanor, daughter of Edward Sacheverell Chandos Pole, of Radborne Hall, Derbyshire. He was a great-grandson of the first baron, a grandson of Dr. Richard Bagot, who was both Dean of Canterbury, and afterwards Bishop of Bath and Wells, and a second cousin of the fourth baron, whom he succeeded on December 23, 1932. For many years he had been a constant traveller, and when his cousin died a fortnight passed before he was traced in France and informed of accession to the peerage. The lands at Bagot's Bromely, near Rugeley, came to the Bagot family in the early part of the thirteenth century, and the family seat, Blithfield, came to the family by marriage in the fourteenth century. Hervey Bagot of Blithfield was created a baronet of England in 1627, and his descendant, Sir William Bagot, sixth baronet, was raised to a baron in 1780. After the death of the fourth baron in December, 1932, the trustees decided to sell some thousands of acres of the family property, but Blithfield Hall and a large surrounding area were retained. The heir-presumptive to the barony is a first cousin once removed, Mr. Carly Ernest Bagot, born March 9, 1877, lieutenant, late Irish Guards (S.R.).

58 vi. Agnes Mary Bagot was born 1867.
