Pechell baronets
The Pechell, later Brooke-Pechell, later Pechell Baronetcy, of Paglesham in the County of Essex, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 1 March 1797 for Lieutenant-Colonel Paul Pechell, a retired army officer of Huguenot descent. The second baronet, whose mother was the only daughter and heir of Thomas Brooke of Paglesham, Essex, took by royal licence the additional surname of Brooke. The first and second baronets were army officers, the third and fourth rose to flag rank in the Royal Navy, and the second through fourth baronets were also Member of Parliament. The eighth and ninth Baronets used the surname Pechell only. On the death of the ninth Baronet on 29 January 1984 the baronetcy became extinct.
