The Cradock-Hartopp Baronetcy, of Freathby in the County of Leicester and of Four Oaks Hall in the County of Warwick, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.[3] It was created on 12 May 1796 for Edmund Cradock-Hartopp, Member of Parliament for Leicestershire. Born Edmund Bunney, he was the husband of Anne Hurlock, granddaughter and heiress of Sir John Hartopp, 4th Baronet, of Freathby (a title which had become extinct in 1762; see Hartopp baronets). On his marriage in 1777 he assumed the surname of Cradock-Hartopp in lieu of his patronymic according to the wills of his uncle Joseph Cradock and his wife's grandfather. His eldest surviving son Edmund, the second Baronet, died childless and was succeeded by his younger brother, William, the third Baronet. The title then descended from father to son until the death of his grandson, Charles, the fifth Baronet, in 1929.
