The Clayton-East, later Gilbert-East, later Clayton-East-Clayton baronetcy, of Hall Place in the County of Berkshire, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 17 August 1838 for East Clayton-East.[3] Born East Clayton, he was the second son of the 4th Baronet of the Clayton baronets of Marden Park (1732) and his wife Mary East, daughter of Sir William East, 1st Baronet, of Hall Place, a title which had become extinct on the death in 1828 of the 2nd Baronet. East Clayton succeeded to the East estates on the death of his uncle in 1828, and assumed the following year the additional surname of East. In 1838, the baronetcy of Hall Place was revived in his favour. He was succeeded by his eldest son, the 2nd Baronet. In 1839 he assumed for his lifetime only by royal licence the surname of Gilbert-East in lieu of Clayton-East. On his death the title passed to his son, the 3rd Baronet.[1][2] In 1914 Sir Gilbert Augustus Clayton-East, 3rd Baronet succeeded to the baronetcy of Marden Park.[4]
