Apreece baronets

The Apreece baronetcy, of Washingley in the County of Huntingdon, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 12 July 1782 for Thomas Apreece. Apreece was recognised for his role as commander of the Huntingdonshire Militia coastal defence force in 1779, during the American Revolutionary War, defending Alnwick from an attack by the flotilla led by John Paul Jones in the USS Bonhomme Richard as he sailed south.

The title became extinct on the death of the 2nd Baronet in 1842.
