The Goschen baronetcy, of Beacon Lodge, in the parish of Highcliffe, in the County of Southampton, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 17 January 1916 for the diplomat Sir Edward Goschen.^[2] He served as British Ambassador to Germany from 1908 until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. As of 2016, the title is held by his great-grandson, the fourth Baronet, who succeeded his father in 2001. The Conservative politician George Goschen, 1st Viscount Goschen, was the elder brother of the first Baronet and the uncle of the first Baronet of the 1927 creation (see below).^[1]
