The Rodes Baronetcy, of Barlborough in the County of Derby, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 14 August 1641 for Francis Rodes, of Barlborough Hall, near Chesterfield, Derbyshire.[2] The early family of Rodes was seated in Nottinghamshire. A William Rodes acquired an estate in Derbyshire by marriage. Sir Francis Rodes built Barlborough Hall in 1583–4. The first Baronet was his grandson.[3] The title became extinct on the death of the fourth Baronet in 1743,[3] when the estates passed to his sister's heirs, the Heathcotes and Heathcote-Rodes families.[2]
