The Turton Baronetcy, of Starborough Castle in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 13 May 1796 for the barrister Thomas Turton. He was High Sheriff of Surrey for 1795–6, and came to notice during the 1796 riots in the county.[2][3] He was Member of Parliament for Southwark from 1806 to 1812.[4]
The title became extinct on the death of the 2nd Baronet in 1854.[2]
