Morris baronets of Clasemont (1806)
The Morris baronetcy, of Clasemont in the County of Glamorgan, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 12 May 1806 for the copper and coal magnate, John Morris. The 1st baronet had founded Morriston, the industrial suburb of Swansea, which was overlooked by the family seat at Clasemont. This residence was later knocked down and the stones were incorporated into a new family house at Sketty Park.
The fifth baronet died without heirs and was succeeded by his uncle, the sixth baronet. The sixth baronet was succeeded by his nephew, the seventh baronet; he also died without issue, upon which the line of descent from the third baronet failed. The seventh baronet was succeeded by his first cousin once removed, the eighth baronet, George Lockwood Morris; aged 88, he was the son of George Byng Morris, second son of the second baronet. The 8th baronet had been a local industrialist and a Welsh international rugby player; he held the title for three months and was succeeded by his son, the painter and horticulturalist Cedric Morris, as the ninth baronet. He died without heirs and was succeeded by his second cousin, Robert Byng Morris.
As of 2023 the baronetcy is considered dormant.
