Baron of Patrixbourne is a feudal title in the Baronage of England.
Today, in modern England, the title of the barony continues to exist and is held as a legally recognised possession, independent of its historic rights, as a so-called incorporeal possession.
As today's Baron & Baroness, we endeavour to fulfil our responsibility to preserve this piece of English history for future generations. As the holders of the Barony title, we are also the custodians of ‘old England’.
The feudal barony of Patrixbourne is a historical barony associated with the English feudal system, covering the town of Patrixbourne in the county of Kent in south-east England. The title should be understood in the context of the tradition of English feudal baronies, which has its origins in the medieval feudal structure following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
Feudal baronies were originally linked to land ownership and specific obligations towards the Crown. The holders of such a barony – the so-called feudal barons – stood in a direct feudal relationship to the monarch and were obliged to perform military or administrative services. In return, they were granted the right to dispose of their territory and exercise local jurisdiction.
The Barony of Patrixbourne is associated with the historic manor house and the surroundings of the village of Patrixbourne in Kent, a region with a long history of settlement and ecclesiastical tradition. The area lies near the city of Canterbury and for centuries formed part of the local estate and land structure of the county of Kent.
The current titleholder bears the title ‘12th Baron of Patrixbourne’ and thus stands in the symbolic tradition of the historic barony, which is linked to the landscape and history of Patrixbourne.
In its present, modern form, such a feudal barony within the United Kingdom no longer possesses any political or legislative powers. However, it is understood as a historical title and an expression of enduring cultural and heraldic traditions.
The feudal barony of Patrixbourne is thus emblematic of the medieval roots of English landownership and the enduring interest in the historical culture of the nobility and feudalism in Great Britain. We wish to preserve this legacy and thereby provide a point of reference for those interested in history.
The British monarchy
Sir Andreas Stephan Wagner KtC, 12th Baron of Patrixbourne, explicitly and publicly identifies himself as a staunch British royalist. In his statements and conduct, he repeatedly emphasises his deep attachment to the British monarchy and his loyalty to the Crown of the United Kingdom. For him, the monarchy embodies not only a historical institution, but also an important symbol of continuity, tradition and national identity.
Sir Andreas Stephan Wagner therefore clearly professes royalist convictions and sees the constitutional monarchy as an essential part of the political and cultural order of Great Britain. His stance is unambiguous: he supports the monarchy out of conviction and consciously and unreservedly considers himself a British royalist.
God save the King.
Since 2025, the 12th Baron of Patrixbourne has been a member of the Crown Society.
Monarchy is more than an idea. It is a way of life. We believe in the importance of constitutional monarchy, a system that has evolved elegantly over the last 1,000 years of Britain's rich history and can also be found in other European nations.
