, The Neville baronetcy, of Sloley in the English county of Norfolk, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 2 July 1927 for the barrister and Conservative politician Reginald Neville. Born Reginald White, he was the son of James Sewell White, a judge of the High Court of Calcutta, who assumed his surname to Neville in 1885. In 1950, he was succeeded by his elder son James Edmund Henderson Neville, who became the second baronet. Sir James was the author of The War Letters of a Light Infantryman (1931), and also wrote under the pen name of 'Gaid Sakit'.[1] The title became extinct on the death of the third baronet in 1994.[2]
