The Chichester baronetcy, of Arlington Court in the County of Devon, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 7 September 1840 for John Chichester, of Arlington, Liberal Member of Parliament for Barnstaple 1831–1840.[1][2]
The title became extinct on the death of the 2nd Baronet in 1881.[2] His widow later married her late husband's distant cousin and neighbour, Sir Arthur Chichester, 8th Baronet of Youlston Park, Shirwell, Devon.[3] The 2nd baronet's unmarried daughter and heiress, Rosalie C. Chichester (d. 1949), bequeathed the Arlington family seat to the nation in 1949.[4]
