The Heathcoat-Amory baronetcy, of Knightshayes Court in Tiverton in the County of Devon, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 21 March 1874 for John Heathcoat-Amory,^[3] a businessman and Liberal politician. Born as John Amory, he was the maternal grandson of John Heathcoat and assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Heathcoat. The baronetcy descended from father to son until the 1972 death of his grandson, the third Baronet. The latter was succeeded by his younger brother, the fourth Baronet, who was a Conservative politician. In 1960, twelve years before he succeeded to the baronetcy, he was raised to the Peerage of the United Kingdom as Viscount Amory, of Tiverton in the County of Devon. Lord Amory was unmarried and on his death in 1981, the viscountcy became extinct. He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his younger brother, William, the fifth Baronet. The title is currently held by the latter's eldest son, the sixth Baronet, who succeeded in 1982.
