.svg)
The Hesketh-Fleetwood baronetcy, of Rossall Hall in the County of Lancaster, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom in July 1838 for Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood, a politician and landowner. He was a descendant of the youngest son of William Fleetwood of Hesketh through the female line, a grandson of Margaret Fleetwood, heiress of Rossall who married Roger Hesketh in 1733.[1] He assumed the additional surname of Fleetwood in 1831.[2] He gave the name to the town of Fleetwood which he developed.
The title became extinct on the death of his son, the 2nd Baronet, in 1881.[3]
