The Howe baronetcy, of Compton in the County of Gloucester, was created in the Baronetage of England on 22 September 1660 for John Howe, Member of Parliament for Gloucestershire in 1654–1655 and 1656–1658. His elder son Richard, the second baronet, was also an MP, as was his younger son John Grobham Howe (died 1679). Sir Richard Grobham Howe, the third baronet, was MP for Tamworth, Cirencester and Wiltshire. Sir Emanuel Howe, 4th Baronet, became the 2nd Viscount Howe on the death of his father in 1713 and the baronetcy which he inherited in 1730 was merged with his viscountcy.
