The Miles Baronetcy, of Leigh Court in the County of Somerset, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created on 19 April 1859 for the banker and Conservative politician William Miles. His son, the second Baronet, was also a banker and Conservative politician. The family’s bank, founded in 1750, eventually became part of NatWest.[2][3]
Philip John Miles, father of the first Baronet, was Mayor of Bristol and sat as member of parliament for Westbury, Corfe Castle and Bristol. The first Baronet was an uncle of Philip Napier Miles, Frank Miles and Christopher Oswald Miles.
