Muntz baronets

The Muntz Baronetcy, of Dunsmore near Rugby in the Parish of Clifton-upon-Dunsmore in the County of Warwick, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 24 July 1902 for Philip Muntz, Member of Parliament for Warwickshire North and Tamworth.^[1] He was the son of the industrialist and Liberal politician George Frederic Muntz, of Umberslade Hall, Warwickshire. The title became extinct on the death in 1940 of the third Baronet, a naval lieutenant, who was lost at sea with his submarine HMS Regulus (N88) during the Second World War.

The family seat was Umberslade Hall, Tanworth-in-Arden, Warwickshire.
