Title in the Baronetage of Great Britain
The Lambert Baronetcy, of London, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 16 February 1711 for John Lambert, a French-born merchant who had settled in England. He was a Director of the South Sea Company and was created a Baronet for supplying the Treasury with loans. The seventh Baronet, who served as high sheriff of Worcestershire in 1901, assumed in 1905 by Royal licence the surname of Grey for himself and issue in lieu of his patronymic. This surname was also borne by the eighth Baronet.
