Sir Patrick Macdonnell Salt, 7th Baronet 1932-2024

Sir Patrick Salt, 7th Baronet, of Langham, near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, died 12 June, 2024. He was 91.

Sir Patrick, whose baronetcy, created in 1869, descends from Sir Titus Salt (1803-76), a manufacturer, politician and philanthropist in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England, who is best known for having built Salt's Mill, a large textile mill, together with the attached village of Saltaire, West Yorkshire.

Patrick Macdonnell Salt was born 25 September, 1932, the third son of Sir John William Titus Salt, 4th Baronet (1884-1953), and his wife the former Stella Houlton Jackson (who died 2 Aug, 1974); and was a younger brother of Sir David Salt, 5th Bt (1930-78), and Sir Anthony Salt, 6th Bt (1931-91), and succeeded to the baronetcy on his brother's death, in 1991.

He was educated at Summer Fields, Oxford and Stowe School; and was a Director of Cassidy Davis Members Agency Ltd 1983-92. His home was at Hillwatering Farmhouse, Langham, Suffolk.

Sir Patrick married in 1976, Ann Elizabeth Mary Kilham Roberts, widow of Denys Kilham Roberts, OBE, and daughter of Thomas Kay Maclachlan, and his wife the former Sarah Hodgson Nelson.

The baronet was childless and the baronetcy now passes to his third cousin once removed, Daniel Alexander Salt (born 15 Aug, 1943).
