Neave baronets
The Neave Baronetcy of Dagnam Park in Essex is a British title created on 13 May 1795 for Richard Neave, who was Governor of the Bank of England from 1783 to 1785.
Dorina Neave (1880–1955), wife of Sir Thomas Neave (died 1940), wrote three books about Turkey. They lived at Dagnam Park, and she was the last family member to live there before the house was requisitioned in 1940 and later demolished in 1950.
Airey Neave, a soldier and Conservative politician, was the son of Sheffield Airey Neave and the grandson of Sheffield Neave, who was the third son of the second Baronet.
After Airey Neave’s assassination in 1979, his widow Diana Neave was made a life peer as Baroness Airey of Abingdon in his honour.
The heir apparent is the present holder’s son Frederick Paul Kinahan Neave, born in 1981.
