The Cory-Wright Baronetcy, of Caen Wood Towers, High Gate, in St. Pancras in the County of London and Hornsey in the County of Middlesex, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created on 28 August 1903 for Cory Cory-Wright, Chairman of William Cory & Son, coal and oil shippers.[2] Born Cory Wright, he assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Cory in 1903. He was High Sheriff of Middlesex in 1902. The second Baronet was High Sheriff of Hertfordshire in 1921.[2] The third Baronet was the husband of Felicity Tree, daughter of Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree.
The present Baronet is the son of Captain Anthony John Julian Cory-Wright (1916–1944) and Susan Esterel Elwes. Captain Cory-Wright was the eldest son of Sir Geoffrey Cory-Wright, the 3rd Baronet Cory-Wright.[2] Captain Cory-Wright was killed in action on 26 June 1944, aged 27, at Saint-Manvieu, Normandy in France, when the present Baronet was only six months old. His mother remarried, in 1949, to Lt.-Col. Jocelyn Eustace Gurney.[2]
