The Hornby baronetcy, of Brookhouse in the Parish of Saint Michael, Blackburn, in the County Palatine of Lancaster, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 21 February 1899 for the politician William Hornby, from 1886 to 1910 Member of Parliament for Blackburn. His father, William Henry Hornby (1805–1884), had held a Blackburn seat from 1857 to 1869.[2]
The title became extinct on the death of the 2nd Baronet in 1971.[3]
