The Hampson Baronetcy, of Taplow in the County of Buckingham, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created by King Charles I on 3 June 1642 for Thomas Hampson, second son of Sir Robert Hampson (1537-1607) one of the two Sheriffs of the City of London in 1599, knighted by King James I in 1603.[5] The third Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Chipping Wycombe in 1685.[6] The tenth Baronet was an entomologist. The title became extinct on the death of the twelfth Baronet in 1969.[2]
