. As of 2008 one baronetcy is extinct.
The Chaytor Baronetcy, of Croft Hall in the County of York, was created in the Baronetage of England on 26 June 1671 for William Chaytor,
Lieutenant-Colonel Nicholas Chaytor (1608 – 1665), of Butterby and Haughton Field.[1][2] In 1675, Sir William married Peregrina, daughter of Sir Joseph Cradock of Richmond. Though Sir William had eight sons and five daughters, none of them survived him, and when he died in Fleet Prison, where he had been held for debt 17 years, in 1720/1 the baronetcy became extinct.[3] His seat of Croft passed to his nephew Henry, who was father of William Chaytor (MP) of Croft and Spenningthorne (1732 – 1819).[3]

He was succeeded by his eldest son
Justice of the Peace. The fifth baronet also died at a young age and was succeeded by his younger brother, Edmund Hugh Chaytor, the sixth baronet. Sir Edmund's wife, Isobel, was a socialite who went travelling in Syria and flew to Australia to lecture on fashion.[5] On the death of his only son, William Henry Clervaux Chaytor, the seventh Baronet, in 1976, the line of the third baronet failed. The presumed eighth baronet, his successor, was his second cousin George Reginald Chaytor, son of William Richard Carter Chaytor, eldest son of Reginald Clervaux Chaytor, son of the second marriage of the second baronet. He never proved his succession and was never on the Official Roll of the Baronetage. As of 2019, the presumed ninth baronet was his first cousin once removed, Bruce Gordon Chaytor.[6][7]
Major-General Sir Edward Chaytor, commander of New Zealand troops in the Boer War and First World War, was the grandson of John Clervaux Chaytor, second son of the first baronet.[8]
