Muntz baronets

The Muntz Baronetcy, of Dunsmore near Rugby in the Parish of Clifton-upon-Dunsmore in the County of Warwick, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 24 July 1902 for Philip Muntz, Member of Parliament for Warwickshire North and Tamworth. He was the son of the industrialist and Liberal politician George Frederic Muntz, of Umberslade Hall, Warwickshire. The title became extinct on the death in 1940 of the third Baronet, a naval lieutenant, who was lost at sea with his submarine HMS Regulus (N88) during the Second World War.

The family seat was Umberslade Hall, Tanworth-in-Arden, Warwickshire.
