Stracey baronets

The Stracey baronetcy, of Rackheath in the county of Norfolk, is a title in the baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 15 December 1818 for Edward Stracey. He was the eldest surviving son of Sir John Stracey, chief judge of the Sheriff's Court and a recorder of London. The fifth baronet served as high sheriff Norfolk in 1871 and sat as conservative member of parliament for Norfolk East, Great Yarmouth and Norwich. The seventh baronet was high sheriff of Norfolk in 1928.

Rosalind Stracey (1907–2005), daughter of the seventh Baronet, was a sculptor.
